Methods and devices for partitioning hollow organs or cavities of the body are described. A tissue securement device having securement arms is positioned through portals formed in opposing tissue walls of an organ. The securement arms may be articulated to facilitate placement. Once positioned the securement arms may be activated to secure the opposing walls of the organ together. The securement arms may secure the walls together through the use of staples, t-tags, sutures, clamps, helical anchors, braided anchors or fastening devices or systems.
