Methods and apparatus for maintaining sterility during transluminal procedures are described. The sterility is achieved by making use of a membrane in either the form, e.g., of a sheath, cap or umbrella to keep the instruments (endoscopes, overtubes, etc.) sterile while being advanced through lumens in the body and into the various cavities. Methods, such as vacuum acquisition, mechanical tissue anchoring, etc., of the underlying tissue followed by incision of the tissue with, e.g., a needle knife, can be utilized to gain access to the various cavities. It is expected that this procedure will provide the desired level of sterility for transluminal procedures.

The present invention provides apparatus and methods for performing endoscopic mucosal resection and endoscopic submucosal dissection of tissue. In a first embodiment, a hood member having a hood portion and a lever portion is provided. The hood portion is adapted to be disposed over a distal region of an endoscope. A portion of the lever portion is configured to be inserted beneath a section of mucosal tissue having a lesion, and the lever portion is configured to be rotated or otherwise maneuvered to lift the mucosal tissue in an upward direction, thereby facilitating removal of the tissue comprising the lesion. Optionally, a surgeon may advance a needle knife through the endoscope and lever portion to further incise submucosal tissue while the lever portion is disposed beneath the lesion. If desired, a flushing fluid may be provided to a target site during the procedure.

Devices and methods for translumenal access are provided. In one embodiment, a device for translumenal access includes an elongate member having proximal and distal ends and a lumen extending therethrough. A tissue-penetrating wire can extend through the lumen, and in use the wire can be selectively movable between a retracted position where the wire is in a constrained configuration within the lumen and an extended position in which a portion of the wire extends a distance beyond a distal end of the elongate member. The portion of wire which extends the distance beyond the distal end of the elongate member can be adapted to assume a non-linear unconstrained configuration to prevent injury to the tissue and/or tissue structures adjacent to the tissue.

The present invention relates to methodology of and apparatus for accurately positioning devices for performing endoscopic cannulation, papillotomy and sphincterotomy and similar procedures. The sphincterotome with a steerable or adjustable distal segment of the present invention allows the physician to control the position of the distal tip of the device independently of the endoscope and adjust for inconsistencies in the device and the anatomy. According to one embodiment of the present invention, a threaded portion of a cable assembly cooperates with a torque transmission element and a cog to enable the operator to rotate a cutting wire into a desired position relative to the catheter. Alternate embodiments allow the operator to fix the depth of a needle knife while allowing, if desired, accurate rotational positioning of the associated catheter. Threaded stabilizing elements, pivot elements and a steering wire may be used together or individually to accomplish these features. Presently available products that may be modified according to the present invention include, but are not limited to, Boston Scientific Sphincterotomes and Needle Knives.

According to the present state of the art, endoscopic cannulation of the common bile duct and papillotomy and/or sphincterotomy of the Papilla of Vater and/or the Sphincter of Oddi is accomplished by advancing a sphincterotome (or papillotome or cannulotome) into an endoscope/duodenoscope so that the distal tip of the sphincterotome exits the endoscope adjacent the sphincter muscles at the Papilla of Vater. The endoscope mechanisms are then manipulated to orient the distal tip of the sphincterotome to the desired position for proper cannulation of the duct. Accurate and consistent control of the length of the exposed blade is made difficult due to a number of factors. These factors include: 1) differences in the inside diameters of the outer tube and the needle knife wire, 2) the orientation of the needle knife wire within the outer tube, 3) the mismatch of tolerance of the needle knife wire and the inside diameter of the extrusion, 4) anatomy, and 5) endoscope manipulation. A sphincterotome incorporating the present invention will provide the user with an indication of the exposed blade length and will allow the physician to control the length of the exposed blade. According to one embodiment of the present invention, various visual indications are presented to the user as the needle knife is advanced from its outer sheath. These visual indications, combined with a mechanical method to hold the knife in position during catheter placement allows the user to perform precise incisions. Presently available products that may be modified according to the present invention include, but are not limited to, Boston Scientific Sphincterotomes and Needle Knives.
