A medical device, method and system of treating the lumenal system of a patient are provided. The medical device includes a tissue plicator adapted and configured to form a plication of tissue proximate a target region of a patient. The medical device further includes a retainer applicator operatively associated with the tissue plicator. The retainer applicator is adapted and configured to apply a retainer to the plication to maintain the plication after the medical device is removed from the patient. In accordance with a further aspect, the tissue plicator may plicate tissue by mechanically clamping the tissue and/or may plicate the tissue at least in part by applying suction thereto. The system can be used to plicate tissue proximate the mitral valve of a patient. The plication can be formed temporarily or permanently.

L'invention concerne un dispositif médical, une méthode et un système de traitement d'un système luménal d'un patient. Ce dispositif médical comprend un dispositif de plicature de tissu conçu et configuré pour effectuer une plicature de tissu à proximité d'une zone cible d'un patient. Le dispositif médical de l'invention comprend également un applicateur de dispositif de retenue fonctionnellement associé au dispositif de plicature de tissu. L'applicateur de dispositif de retenue est conçu et configuré pour appliquer un dispositif de retenue sur la plicature, afin de maintenir la plicature, une fois le dispositif médical retiré du patient. Selon un autre aspect de l'invention, le dispositif de plicature de tissu peut permettre d'effectuer une plicature de tissu en serrant mécaniquement le tissu et/ou peut effectuer une plicature du tissu au moins partiellement par l'application d'une aspiration sur ce tissu.
