Abstract: An piercing member is axially fixed to and positioned within a cutter, both of which are components of a stand-alone tool for creating an opening in the wall of a tubular tissue structure. The stand-alone tool includes an impulse source connected to the piercing member and to the cutter. An actuator is operationally connected to the impulse source, where the actuator causes the impulse source to release energy to and provide an impulse to the piercing member and the cutter. The tool may be configured to make multiple openings in the tissue of the same patient. Where the tool is configured to make multiple openings in the tissue of the same patient, the tool allows the piercing member and cutter to be moved back to an initial pre-deployment position after each use.

Abstract translation: 刺穿构件轴向地固定到切割器内并定位在切割器内，两者都是用于在管状组织结构的壁中产生开口的独立工具的部件。 独立工具包括连接到穿孔构件和切割器的脉冲源。 致动器可操作地连接到脉冲源，其中致动器使得脉冲源释放能量并向冲击构件和切割器提供冲击。 该工具可以被配置为在同一患者的组织中形成多个开口。 在工具被配置为在同一患者的组织中形成多个开口的情况下，该工具允许穿刺构件和切割器在每次使用之后移回到初始预部署位置。

Abstract: A method for closing a patent foramen ovale in the heart tissue of a patient may include percutaneously advancing a connector applicator to the patent foramen ovale, registering the connector applicator with the patent foramen ovale, deploying connectors into heart tissue to close the patent foramen ovale; and percutaneously removing the connector applicator from the heart. One or more anchors may be used to register the connector applicator with the patent foramen ovale. The connector applicator may include a driver having a longitudinal passage therein, where at least part of at least one connector is positioned within said passage.

Abstract: A system for closing an opening in tissue may include an end effector that holds a staple, where the staple is plastically deformed to a splayed configuration for engaging tissue, then plastically deformed to a closed condition for closing the opening. The system may include one or more butterfly members configured to register the opening to the end effector.
