摘要:
Methods and devices for successively advancing a plurality of catheters overa guide element to a body tissue are described. In some of the methods, the guideelement may be attached to the body tissue, which may be accessible minimallyinvasively. In certain variations, the guide element may not be detached fromthe body tissue after the catheters have been advanced over the guide element.The methods may further comprise deploying at least one implant from at leastone of the plurality of catheters. In some variations, a method may comprise advancinga first delivery catheter to a first region of a body tissue, deploying a firstanchor from the first delivery catheter, where the first anchor is attached toa guide element, proximally withdrawing the first delivery catheter, advancinga second delivery catheter over the guide element, and deploying a second anchorfrom the second delivery catheter.
