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.
