1. A surgical tool comprising:
- an elongated body having a proximal end, a distal end, and an outer surface extending between the proximal end and the distal end;
first and second sets of tissue approximating structures having deployed and retracted positions relative to the elongated body;
an actuating mechanism extending from the proximal end of the elongated body for independently deploying and retracting each of the first and second sets of tissue approximating structures;
a drainage lumen extending from a drainage aperture at the distal end of the elongated body to the proximal end;
a main balloon adjacent to the distal end of the elongated body; and
a strap connector extending from the outer surface of the elongated body and comprising an aperture;
a stabilization strap extending through the aperture of the strap connector;
wherein one face of the stabilization strap comprises a removably attachable auxiliary strap for attaching the stabilization strap to the elongated body;
wherein the auxiliary strap extends through the aperture of the strap connector.
