Various apparatus and methods for excising tissue are described therein. In certain variations, a method of excising a target tissue mass from a subject, may include advancing an elongate instrument having an opening at its distal end into a subject. A cutting element, e.g., a snare or loop, may be advanced from the distal end of the elongate instrument, wherein the cutting element may be configured to cut tissue. The cutting element may be positioned near the target tissue mass. The cutting element may be actuated, e.g., expanded or deployed, and may perform energy based or mechanical cutting of a section of tissue encapsulating the target tissue mass. The cut section of tissue and the target tissue mass encapsulated therein may be removed from the subject.
1. A method of excising a target tissue mass from a subject, the method comprising: advancing an elongate instrument having an opening at its distal end through the airways of a lung of the subject, wherein a proximal section of the elongate instrument is flexible;advancing a snare from the distal e
1. A method of excising a target tissue mass from a subject, the method comprising: advancing an elongate instrument having an opening at its distal end through the airways of a lung of the subject, wherein a proximal section of the elongate instrument is flexible;advancing a snare from the distal end of the elongate instrument, wherein the snare is configured to cut tissue;positioning the snare near the target tissue mass, wherein the snare is positioned in healthy tissue adjacent the target tissue mass;actuating the snare to cut a section of healthy tissue encapsulating the target tissue mass, wherein the snare is expanded and rotated thereby cutting around the target tissue mass and collapsed to complete the cut, thereby creating a cut section of healthy tissue which fully encases the target tissue mass;applying suction to remove air from the cut section of healthy tissue sufficiently causing compression of the cut section of healthy tissue; andsecuring the cut section of tissue and the target tissue mass encapsulated therein with the snare and removing the cut section from the subject. 2. The method of claim 1, further comprising closing the snare around the cut section of tissue such that the snare holds the cut section of tissue and the target tissue mass encapsulated therein for removal. 3. The method of claim 1, wherein the cut section of tissue and the target tissue mass encapsulated therein are removed by retracting the snare into the elongate instrument. 4. The method of claim 1, where the cut section of tissue is captured by collapsing the snare around the cut section of tissue and extracting the cut section of tissue by removing the snare from the subject. 5. The method of claim 1, wherein the snare cuts a slit through tissue as it is advanced from the elongate instrument and into position next to the target tissue mass. 6. The method of claim 1, further comprising delivering a sealant to seal cut airways or blood vessels. 7. The method of claim 1, further comprising applying suction through the elongate instrument to compress or draw down the cut section of tissue for removal. 8. The method of claim 1, wherein the snare is reexpanded to positioned in healthy tissue next to the target tissue and the cut section of tissue comprises healthy tissue encasing the target tissue mass. 9. The method of claim 1, wherein the target tissue mass is a lung tumor. 10. The method of claim 1, wherein the snare is advanced through an opening through an airway wall of an airway located in the lung to access the target tissue mass or tumor in the lung. 11. The method of claim 1, wherein the snare is configured to collapse around the cut section of tissue to hold the tissue for removal. 12. The method of claim 1, further comprising unfurling a sheet of material from a side of the snare when the snare is rotated around the target tissue mass such that the target tissue mass is fully encapsulated. 13. The method of claim 1, wherein the snare comprises a loop, wherein the loop is perpendicular to the elongate instrument, and wherein a plurality of legs extend from the distal end of the elongate instrument and attach to the loop. 14. The method of claim 1, wherein the cutting around the target tissue mass comprises electrical cutting. 15. The method of claim 1, wherein the creating the cut section of healthy tissue which fully encases the target tissue mass cuts all sides of the target tissue mass. 16. The method of claim 1 comprising applying suction to remove the cut section of tissue. 17. A method of excising a target tissue mass from a subject, the method comprising: advancing an elongate instrument having an opening at its distal end through the airways of a lung of a subject, wherein a proximal section of the elongate instrument is flexible;advancing a snare from the distal end of the elongate instrument, wherein the snare is configured to cut tissue;positioning the snare in adjacent tissue surrounding the target tissue mass;cutting around the target tissue mass, wherein the cutting is at least partially performed by expanding and rotating the snare;collapsing the snare to complete the step of cutting, thereby creating a cut tissue section which fully encases the target tissue mass; andre-expanding the snare to secure the cut tissue section and the target tissue mass encapsulated therein and removing the cut section from the subject.
