摘要
The present embodiments provide apparatus and methods suitable for removing lymph nodes or providing a tissue anchor during a translumenal procedure. In one embodiment, an apparatus suitable for facilitating removal of a lymph node comprises an expandable device including at least one deployable member having contracted and expanded states. The deployable member may be delivered in the contacted state to a location distal to the lymph node using an insertion tool adapted to be disposed beyond the lymph node. In the expanded state, the deployable member comprises a configuration sized to at least partially circumferentially surround and engage the lymph node. In an alternative embodiment, the deployable member may anchor into an outer portion of a visceral wall to promote stabilization of a system during a medical procedure.
