Claim 18:
19. A device for modifying intraluminal tissue, the device comprising:
a first shaft having a proximal portion and a distal portion, the first shaft comprising—
a first lumen extending between the proximal portion and the distal portion; and
a plurality of capture members extending along a length of the distal portion, wherein each of the plurality of capture members includes a distal joint coupled to the first shaft, a proximal joint coupled to the first shaft, and an intermediate joint positioned between the distal joint and the proximal joint;

a second shaft disposed within the first lumen, wherein a distal end region of the second shaft is fixed to a distal end region of the first shaft such that proximal movement of the first shaft with respect to the second shaft pulls the distal joint of each of the plurality of capture members proximally and causes the plurality of capture members to bend outwardly away from a central axis of the first shaft; and
a third shaft extending along at least a portion of the first shaft, the third shaft including a second lumen configured to deliver a tool along the distal portion of the first shaft.
