Abstract
Methods and apparatus are provided for fastening or clamping tissue to tissue or non-tissue layers and for occluding tubular body structures. Tissue fasteners having separate proximal and distal implants, each with self-expanding, radially extending legs are connected together on opposite sides of tissue and non-tissue layers. The legs of the proximal and distal implants are interdigitated in the absence of such layers.
