Abstract
Devices, systems, and methods for drawing tissue walls together using a first tissue anchoring element and a second tissue anchoring element spaced apart from each other. The first tissue anchoring element is thinner than the second tissue anchoring element. The first tissue anchoring element may be a suture, optionally including a suture anchor. The second tissue anchoring element may be an expandable tissue anchoring element, such as a stent, expandable from a delivery configuration to a deployed configuration. The second tissue anchoring element may have a passage therethrough allowing passage of materials through the tissue walls, and creating an anastomosis therebetween.
