Abstract
A target tissue localization device includes a tubular mesh anchor element that is secured to a placement device. In use, the localization device is passed through the patient's skin to the target tissue, creating a tissue track. The tubular mesh anchor element is located at the target tissue and expanded from a contracted to an expanded configuration. Methods for localizing a lymph node are also described. After determining the position of the lymph node, a localization device, which includes an anchor element, is localized near or within the lymph node. The anchor element is then expanded.
