1. A method for treating prostatic tissue by inducing tissue remodeling with an implant delivery system, comprising:
- accessing an interventional site adjacent prostatic tissue with the delivery system;
positioning at least a portion of a retaining member outside the prostatic capsule; and
reducing blood flow to tissue within the prostatic capsule.

Abstract
Devices, systems and methods for compressing, cutting, incising, reconfiguring, remodeling, attaching, repositioning, supporting, dislocating or altering the composition of tissues or anatomical structures to alter their positional or force relationship to other tissues or anatomical structures. In some applications, the invention may be used to improve patency or fluid flow through a body lumen or cavity (e.g., to limit constriction of the urethra by an enlarged prostate gland).

11. A method for causing a therapeutic effect in prostatic tissue with an implant delivery system, comprising:
-
accessing an interventional site adjacent prostatic tissue with the delivery system; deploying at least a portion of an implant to an outer surface of the prostatic capsule; locally compressing prostatic tissue; and maintaining compression of prostatic tissue via the implant for an amount of time sufficient to induce tissue remodeling. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18)
