Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2007145684A2] The present invention relates to a tissue securement system, device and method for endoscopy or endosonography-guided transluminal interventions whereby 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 gastro-intestinal tract. Specifically, endosonography 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 gastro intestinal tract.
