CA 2224301

A surgical suturing needle is disclosed for use in limited space applications as well as a method for its use. The needle has an arcuate body and a relatively straight shank extending therefrom. The shank and arcuate body form an abrupt angle therebetween. The surgical suturing needle has a pointed tip on one end of the arcuate body and suture attachment structure formed in the shank. The method of using the surgical needle to join a pair of vascular tissue sections together includes penetrating into a lumen of a first vascular tissue section, advancing the pointed tip into the lumen of a second vascular tissue section and out through a side wall thereof, grasping the pointed tip and drawing the needle substantially parallel to an outer surface of the second vascular tissue section to thereby move the surgical suturing needle and an attached length of suture material through the first and second vascular tissue sections.
