An apparatus is provided for aligning a damaged tubular organ. One component includes a magnetically attractable element and another component includes means for generating a magnetic field sufficient to attract the magnetically attractable element. In use, one component is inserted toward a damaged region of a tubular organ and the other component is inserted through another segment of the tubular organ toward the damaged region. The components attract one another to engage one another along a substantially common axis in order to align the tubular organ along that axis.
