Abstract
A method of managing suture deployment onto a target organ tissue involves applying a label to a first portion of a first suture extending externally from a target organ, the first suture having a second portion deployed onto the target organ tissue within the target organ. The method further involves attaching a suture tab to the first portion or another portion of the first suture extending externally from the target organ, and applying tension to the first suture, wherein applying tension to the first suture comprises coupling the first suture to a tension guide and determining whether the tension is within a target range.
