Abstract

See full text

The present invention relates to a tissue securement system, device and method for endoscopy or endosonography-guided transluminal interventions through which a ligation is placed and secured into tissue. An objective of this invention is to provide a stable securement platform for the coupling of secondary anchors to the gastrointestinal tract. Specifically, endoscopy is used to insert an anchoring element through the walls of adjacent body cavities. The ends of the anchoring element are coupled together to form a loop. This anchoring element can be used to secure other anchors or devices to the gastrointestinal tract.
