The present teachings provide devices and methods for percutaneously removing internal tissue. Specifically, one aspect of the present teachings provides a tissue incising element with a sharp cutting edge and a longitudinal lumen and a tissue stabilizer slidably disposed within the longitudinal lumen of the tissue incising element. The tissue incising element has a deployed configuration during tissue cutting and a small collapsed configuration during the percutaneous delivery and removal. The tissue stabilizer includes a tissue supporting/gripping element configured to support tissue during incising and capture the removed tissue.
