Abstract: Methods, devices, and systems for obtaining a navigating to a targeted biopsy region are disclosed. An example device for navigating to a targeted biopsy region may include an elongate shaft having a proximal end, a distal end, an inflation lumen, and a vacuum lumen. An inflatable balloon may be positioned proximal to the distal end of the elongate shaft. The device may further include an ultrasound transducer positioned adjacent to the distal end of the elongate shaft and a power and control unit in electrical communication with the ultrasound transducer. A vacuum source may be in fluid communication with the vacuum lumen.

Abstract: According to an embodiment of the present disclosure, a guidewire for performing medical procedures may include a central core. The central core may include a first region having a first width and a distal surface. The central core may also include a second region distal to the first region. The second region may have a second width different than the first width. The second region may also have a proximal surface. At least a portion of the distal surface of the first region may be angled relative to a portion of the proximal surface of the second region. The guidewire may also include a first covering surrounding the first region. The first covering and the first region may form a first covered region having a third width. The guidewire may also include a second covering surrounding the second region. The second covering and the second region may form a second covered region having a fourth width. The third width and the fourth width may be substantially equal.

Abstract: A system for restricting a stomach of a patient may include a plurality of discrete magnetic devices. Each magnetic device may include a magnet and be configured to be secured to tissue. A first portion of the plurality of magnetic devices may be configured to be transorally inserted into the patient and secured to a first wall of the stomach, and a second portion of the plurality of magnetic devices may be configured to be transorally inserted into the patient and secured to a second wall of the stomach. The first and second portions may be configured to be magnetically joined together to draw the first and second walls of the stomach towards each other.
