Devices and methods for tissue acquisition and fixation, or gastroplasty,
are described. Generally, the devices of the system may be advanced in a
minimally invasive manner within a patient's body to create one or more
plications within the hollow body organ. A tissue treatment device
attached to a distal end of a flexible elongated member and has a
cartridge member opposite an anvil member. The cartridge member and the
anvil member are movable between a closed position and an open position,
and a moveable barrier is disposed between the cartridge and anvil
members to help acquire a dual fold of tissue. The tissue treatment
device can be repositioned to form multiple plications within the organ.
