ABSTRACT:
A device for sealing a hole in an anatomical structure comprises an elongated member formed with a proximal portion extending along a first axis and a distal portion extending along a second axis, wherein the second axis is different from the first axis and wherein a needle retention channel extends within the distal portion to a distal opening formed in the proximal end of the distal portion. A central portion connects the proximal and distal portions. In use, the device is guided into the hole in the anatomical wall and positioned in a first orientation so that the distal opening faces a first desired location on the inner wall. Thereafter, a first needle is withdrawn from the needle retention channel by drawing proximally a suture coupled to the first needle so that the first needle passes through the first desired location out of the body. The elongated member is then rotated within the hole to a second orientation so that the distal opening faces a second desired location on the inner wall. The second needle is then withdrawn from the first needle retention channel by drawing a second portion of the suture proximally so that the second needle passes through the second desired location out of the body and the ends of the length of are tied together to seal the hole.
