    摘要: Tissue imaging system variations are described herein. Such a system may include a deployment catheter and an attached imaging hood deployable into an expanded configuration. In use, the imaging hood is placed against or adjacent to a region of tissue to be imaged in a body lumen that is normally filled with an opaque bodily fluid such as blood. A translucent or transparent fluid, such as saline, can be pumped into the imaging hood until the fluid displaces any blood, thereby leaving a clear region of tissue to be imaged via an imaging element in the deployment catheter. Additionally, the system can be deployed in a number of various ways such as clearing blood clots, emboli, and other debris which may be present in a body lumen. Other variations may also be used for facilitating trans-septal access across tissue regions as well as for balancing body fluids during a procedure.

    摘要: Methods and apparatus for maintaining sterility during transluminal procedures are described. The sterility is achieved by making use of a membrane in either the form, e.g., of a sheath, cap or umbrella to keep the instruments (endoscopes, overtubes, etc.) sterile while being advanced through lumens in the body and into the various cavities. Methods, such as vacuum acquisition, mechanical tissue anchoring, etc., of the underlying tissue followed by incision of the tissue with, e.g., a needle knife, can be utilized to gain access to the various cavities. It is expected that this procedure will provide the desired level of sterility for transluminal procedures.

    摘要: Methods and apparatus for performing endoluminal procedures are described herein. An endoluminal tissue manipulation assembly is disclosed which provides for a stable endoluminal platform and which also provides for effective triangulation of tools. Such an apparatus may comprise an optionally shape-lockable elongate body defining a longitudinal axis and adapted for endoluminal advancement in a patient body, at least one articulatable visualization lumen disposed near or at a distal region of the elongate body, the at least one articulating visualization lumen being adapted to articulate off-axis relative to a longitudinal axis of the elongate body, and at least one articulatable tool arm member disposed near or at the distal region of the elongate body, the at least one articulatable tool arm member being adapted to articulate off-axis and manipulate a tissue region of interest.

    摘要: Methods and apparatus for performing malabsorptive bypass procedures within a patient's gastrointestinal lumen are described comprising, for example, gastroenterostomy procedures that are preferably performed in an endoscopic or laparoscopic fashion. Anastomosis between the patient's stomach and intestine allows food to bypass at least a portion of the patient's stomach and/or intestine, thereby providing a malabsorptive region. The malabsorptive procedure may be accompanied by additional procedures, for example, pyloric occlusion, pyloroplasty, gastroplasty, gastric tissue destruction and/or intestinal pleating.

    摘要: A manipulatable grasping needle is described herein. A piercing and grasping assembly generally comprises a needle body, which is optionally hollow, having a piercing tip and a grasping arm positioned proximally of the tip, wherein the grasping arm is adapted to project from the needle body and releasably retain a length of suture. Alternatively, opposing jaws can form a singular piercing tip when the jaws are closed. The assembly is positioned at the distal end of an elongate member which can be rigid or flexible for advancement through an endoscopic device. The elongate member can also comprise one or more articulatable sections to enable manipulation of the assembly into various shapes to facilitate suture and tissue manipulation. Moreover, either the needle body or grasping arm can define a notch for receiving suture material. A hooking member can also be provided to facilitate suture retrieval when grasping suture.

    摘要: Methods and apparatus for creating a working space within a patient's stomach are described. The working space is created by internally spreading or pushing the walls of the stomach apart. Advantageously, such spreading is achieved without pressurizing the patient's stomach, i.e. without injecting a pressurized gas or other fluid directly into the stomach. Diagnostic or therapeutic instruments may be deployed within the working space. It is expected that spreading the walls without pressurizing the stomach will facilitate engagement and/or manipulation of the stomach wall for, e.g., endoluminal treatment of obesity.
