    摘要: Apparatus and methods are provided for achieving prolonged maintenance of gastrointestinal (“GI”) tissue folds. The apparatus and methods are adapted to form, secure, approximate and promote healing of tissue folds. Such healing may comprise remodeling the tissue folds along region(s) of opposing tissue contact to facilitate prolonged maintenance of the folds. In one variation, the apparatus and methods may be utilized to achieve gastric reduction. The apparatus may be provided as a system of tools.

    摘要: The present invention provides methods and apparatus for endoluminally performing gastroplasty. In one variation, the apparatus comprises a sizing tube, and a steerable guide that may be reversibly disposed within the sizing tube. In another variation, the sizing tube and steerable guide are integrated into a single device. In one method of utilizing the apparatus, a pouch is endoluminally formed within a patient's stomach, thereby partitioning or reducing the stomach and restricting the flow of food therethrough. The pouch may form a Vertical Banded Gastroplasty or Magenstrasse and Mill in an endoluminal fashion. Advantageously, the sizing tube or steerable guide may be used to properly size the endoluminal pouch.
