摘要：
Described, in certain embodiments, are methods and apparatuses for deliveringanchoring devices such as T-anchors into body passage walls. Some inventivemethods involve inserting one or more anchoring devices into a wall of an organin a direction from a luminal surface to an abluminal surface of the wall. In someinstances, inserting a device in this manner, while providing at least part ofthe device implanted between the luminal surface and the abluminal surface ofthe wall, is conducted without the device exiting the wall's abluminalsurface. In these and other inventive methods, delivering an anchoring deviceinto a body passage wall may involve manipulating the wall in some manner before,during and/or after placing the device in the wall. Various forms of manipulationare described in this regard.
