A positioning device and method of using are provided herein. The positioning device includes an expandable cage through which blood can flow. The expandable cage is insertable into a bodily organ, for example a heart, and expanded to temporarily secure the positioning device within the organ. Then, the cage can be used to steady the implantation of an annuloplasty device, for example. Alternatively, the expanded cage can be used to locate a desired area or feature of the body organ in which it is inserted by way of fluoroscopy.
