The present invention provides an anastomosis device which includes an elongate center pin having proximal and distal ends. The proximal end is configured to be graspable using a grasping tool. A grip mechanism is located at the distal end for crimping a suture. The device includes an outer sleeve having a passageway therethrough to receive therein the elongate center pin. A suture having a suture needle is attached to a first end of the center pin and a second end of the suture is formed into a pre-formed knot mounted on the sleeve. The device includes a suture release mechanism having a passageway extending therethrough to receive the outer sleeve therein. The suture release mechanism slides along the sleeve between a first position in which the suture release mechanism is spaced from the distal end and a second position such that movement of the suture release mechanism from the first position to the second position dislodges the pre-formed knot off the sleeve. A free end of the suture, which was attached to a suture needle but cut lose after the suture has been passed through the tissue being sutured, is crimped by the crimp mechanism. The pre-formed knot is dislodged such that the crimped end of the suture is located within the pre-formed knot and pulling the suture through the knot tightens the pre-formed knot on the suture.
