摘要:
A surgical tool including an elongated body having a proximal end and a distal end, first and second sets of tissue approximating structures having deployed and retracted positions relative to the elongated body, an actuating mechanism at the proximal end of the elongated body for independently deploying and retracting each of the first and second sets of tissue approximating structures, and a drainage lumen extending from a drainage aperture at the distal end of the elongated body to the proximal end. The tool further includes a main balloon adjacent to the distal end of the elongated body, and a second balloon spaced from the main balloon toward the proximal end of the elongated body, wherein the second balloon has an expanded condition in which it diverts one of the set of tissue approximating structures away from the main balloon.
