a shaft for insertion into a body of a patient;
a telescopic assembly including proximal and distal tubular members in a telescopic configuration, the distal tubular member having a distal anchor, the proximal tubular member having a proximal anchor;
an inflatable balloon, which is coupled to a distal anchor of the distal tubular member and the proximal anchor of the proximal tubular member; and
