Pledgeted tissue anchor

An anchoring system comprising:

• a first anchoring device comprising a first attachment mechanism;
• and
• a second anchoring device comprising a second attachment mechanism and a frame forming a closed loop, wherein the second attachment mechanism comprises a metallic mesh, and wherein the second attachment mechanism forms a covering across the closed loop;
• wherein:
• the second attachment mechanism extends from the frame and does not extend beyond the frame;
• each of the first anchoring device and the second anchoring device is configured to enter a tissue wall at a proximal side of the tissue wall;
• at least a portion of the first anchoring device is configured to exit the tissue wall through a first hole on a distal side of the tissue wall;
• at least a portion of the second anchoring device is configured to exit the tissue wall through a second hole on the distal side of the tissue wall;
• the first attachment mechanism is configured to pass through and attach to the second attachment mechanism outside of the distal side of the tissue wall;
• and
• the second attachment mechanism is configured to at least partially cover the first hole to prevent bleeding.
