Methods for intravascularly-induced neuromodulation |
摘要 |
Methods for intravascularly-induced renal neuromodulation. In some embodiments, a method can include positioning a pair of bipolar electrodes within renal vasculature of a human patient and expanding a balloon within the renal vasculature. The method can further include delivering an electric field via the bipolar electrodes. |

1. A method for intravascularly-induced renal neuromodulation, the method comprising:
intravascularly positioning a catheter comprising a balloon and a pair of bipolar electrodes within renal vasculature of a human patient; expanding the balloon within the renal vasculature; and delivering an electric field via the bipolar electrodes to induce renal neuromodulation, wherein inducing renal neuromodulation results in a therapeutically beneficial reduction in blood pressure of the patient. |
