anastomotic
Between two channels
Anastomotic describes something relating to or involving an anastomosis—a connection between two tubes, channels, or vessels.
In medicine, it typically refers to surgical joins between blood vessels, intestines, or other tubular structures: anastomotic leak, anastomotic stricture.
The term also applies to natural connections in vascular or lymphatic networks: anastomotic branches between arteries.
