Device and method for modifying the shape of a body organ

A method of modifying target tissue shape comprising:

• providing a tissue shaping device comprising proximal and distal anchors, a connector disposed between the proximal and distal anchors, and a focal deflector;
• advancing the tissue shaping device to a lumen adjacent the target tissue;
• expanding the distal anchor to anchor the distal anchor in the lumen;
• applying a proximally directed force on the distal anchor, wherein applying the proximally directed force on the distal anchor applies a shaping force from the focal deflector against the lumen wall to modify the shape of the target tissue;
• and
• expanding the proximal anchor to anchor the proximal anchor,
• wherein expanding the proximal anchor occurs while applying the proximally directed force.

• anchoring the proximal anchor after the shape of the target tissue has been modified.
