Abstract:
A device and a method for delivering a plurality of securing elements or clips to a target region in a body. Further, the method and device deliver and place a plurality of clips to secure an implant to a target region. The device allows an operator to remotely control the delivery and placement of shape memory clips to efficiently and precisely fasten the clips directly to the target region, or, alternatively, to use the clips to secure the implant to the target region. Advantageously, the device allows for the application of the plurality of clips from within a lumen of a vessel.
