Abstract

An ultrasound imaging device is delivered into a body lumen by an endoscope or other elongated probe and attached to a tissue wall. The ultrasound imaging device is then detached from the endoscope so that the endoscope or another instrument can be advanced distally in the body lumen and/or through an opening or incision in the tissue wall for performing a diagnostic or therapeutic procedure while using ultrasound imaging. The ultrasound imaging device may include an expandable fixation device for fixing the ultrasound imaging transducer in a desired position within the body lumen leaving an open passage for advancing an endoscope or other instrument through the body lumen. Alternatively, the ultrasound imaging device may include an incision closure device for attaching the ultrasound imaging transducer to a tissue wall and for closing an incision after withdrawal of an endoscope or other instrument that has been inserted through the incision.
