Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

Exemplary embodiments of the present disclosure relate to devices, systems, and methods for tissue resection in a body lumen of a patient, and may include a body extending along an axis and a distal cap positioned distally of the body and coupled to a shaft extending along the axis. The body and the distal cap may be movable relative to each other. An anchoring mechanism may be capable of engaging the body and the distal cap proximate a selected tissue for resection in the body lumen. A tissue capture device may be deployable from the tissue resection device such that a selected tissue for resection is securable by the tissue capture device. The tissue resection device may further include a tissue resecting device for resecting the selected tissue for resection.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A device for tissue resection in a body lumen, the device comprising: a body extending along an axis; a distal cap positioned distally of the body and coupled to a shaft extending along the axis, the body and the distal cap being movable relative to each other; a first balloon disposed on the distal cap and a second balloon disposed on the body proximate a selected tissue for resection in the body lumen; a tissue capture device deployable from the tissue resection device such that the selected tissue for resection is securable by the tissue capture device; and a tissue resecting device for resecting the selected tissue for resection. 2. The tissue resection device according to claim 1 , further comprising a tissue closure device. 3. The tissue resection device according to claim 1 , wherein the first and second balloons are expandable to engage the body lumen such that the selected tissue for resection is between the first and second balloons. 4. The tissue resection device according to claim 1 , wherein the tissue capture device includes one or more posts disposed circumferentially around a surface of the body and extendable from the body in a direction along the axis for securing the selected tissue for resection against the distal cap. 5. The tissue resection device according to claim 2 , wherein the tissue closure device is configured to join portions of the body lumen. 6. The tissue resection device according to claim 1 , wherein the tissue resecting device includes a blade disposed circumferentially around a surface of the body and extendable from the body in a direction along the axis for resecting the selected tissue for resection. 7. A device for tissue resection in a body lumen, the device comprising: a body extending along an axis; a distal cap positioned distally of the body and coupled to a shaft extending along the axis, the body and the distal cap being movable relative to each other; an anchor capable of engaging the body and the distal cap proximate a selected tissue for resection in the body lumen; a tissue capture device deployable from the tissue resection device such that the selected tissue for resection is securable by the tissue capture device; and a blade extendable from the distal cap in a direction along the axis for resecting the selected tissue for resection. 8. The tissue resection device according to claim 7 , wherein the blade is disposed circumferentially around a surface of the distal cap and extendable from the distal cap in response to the inner shaft being movable relative to the outer shaft. 9. A system for tissue resection in a body lumen, the system comprising: a tissue resection device, including: a body extending along an axis; a distal cap positioned distally of the body and coupled to a shaft extending along the axis, the body and the distal cap being movable relative to each other; a first balloon disposed on the distal cap and a second balloon disposed on the body proximate a selected tissue for resection in the body lumen; and a visualization device for visualizing positioning of the tissue resection device in the body lumen relative to the selected tissue for resection. 10. The system according to claim 9 , further comprising: a tissue capture device deployable from the tissue resection device such that the selected tissue for resection is securable by the tissue capture device; a tissue resecting device for resecting the selected tissue for resection; and a tissue closure device. 11. The system according to claim 9 , wherein the first and second balloons are expandable to engage the body lumen such that the selected tissue for resection is between the first and second balloons. 12. The system according to claim 9 , further comprising a tissue capture device including one or more posts disposed circumferentially around a surface of the body and extendable from the body in a direction along the axis for securing the selected tissue for resection against the distal cap. 13. The system according to claim 10 , wherein the tissue resecting device includes a blade disposed circumferentially around a surface of the body and extendable from the body in a direction along the axis for resecting the selected tissue for resection. 14. A system for tissue resection in a body lumen, the system comprising: a tissue resection device, including: a body extending along an axis; a distal cap positioned distally of the body and coupled to a shaft extending along the axis, the body and the distal cap being movable relative to each other; and an anchor capable of engaging the body and the distal cap proximate a selected tissue for resection in the body lumen; and a blade extendable from the distal cap in a direction along the axis for resecting the selected tissue for resection; and a visualization device for visualizing positioning of the tissue resection device in the body lumen relative to the selected tissue for resection. 15. The system according to claim 14 , wherein the blade is disposed circumferentially around a surface of the distal cap and extendable from the distal cap in response to the inner shaft being movable relative to the outer shaft.
