The piercing member moves distally out of the lumen and pierces tissue while moving. A needle guide is provided for guiding the piercing member, the needle guide having a distal end which comprises a first alignment member. A guidewire has a distal tip with a second alignment member disposed on the guidewire distal tip. The first alignment member may comprise a magnetic attachment, at least one magnetic implant, a proximity sensor, an ultrasonic sensor, or other suitable system for alignment of devices disposed on opposing sides of opaque tissue. Similarly, the second alignment member may comprise a magnetic attachment or implant, a proximity sensor, or an ultrasonic sensor.
