摘要：Devices, systems and methods are provided for electrical stimulation of a body
organ, particularly within the gastrointestinal tract. In preferred embodiments, thestomach is the organ within the gastrointestinal tract which is targeted for suchstimulation. A guide wire or other delivery device is positioned within the body so as totransect the stomach wall. Devices and systems are then advanced over the guide wirefor attachment to the stomach wall. The guide wire may be placed by endoscopic, open,laparoscopic or a modified percutaneous approach. In a modified percutaneous approach,the stomach is accessed without the use of general anesthesia by advancing a needlethrough the abdomen, transecting the stomach wall with the needle and advancing theguide wire through the needle. In some embodiments, particularly for use in obesepatients, the modified percutaneous approach includes advancing a trocar through thetissue of the patient toward the outer surface of the organ and advancing the needlethrough the trocar prior to transecting the wall with the needle.
