ABSTRACT:
Method and apparatus for reconstructing target tissue by grafting uses a stabilizing balloon cannula having an endoscope for visualizing the placement of the graft during the procedure. The method and apparatus advances a sheathed graft to the target tissue, releases the graft at the target site, occludes the target tissue, deploys a graft stabilizing catheter, dissects a cavity outside the target tissue site, maintains the dissection site, and then secures the graft to the target tissue. Alternatively, the method and apparatus creates a cavity extending to the target tissue using an everting balloon cannula with an endoscope, maintains the dissection site, introduces the graft to the target site via the dissection site, and then secures the graft to the target tissue.
