Abstract:
1. Apparatus for facilitating resection of tissue, the apparatus comprising: a first tube having proximal and distal regions, and a working lumen disposed within at least a portion of the distal region; a second tube disposed circumferentially around at least a portion of the distal region of the first tube; a wire having a distal end securely attached to a distal region of the second tube, wherein rotation of the second tube relative to the first tube causes the wire to pass circumferentially over a distal face of the first tube to incise tissue disposed within the working lumen of the first tube, wherein the wire extends from the distal region of the second tube in a proximal direction through the working lumen of the first tube; and an eyelet disposed at a distal region of the first tube, wherein the wire extends from the distal region of the second tube in a proximal direction through the eyelet and further through the working lumen of the first tube.
