Catheter apparatuses having expandable mesh structures for renal neuromodulation and associated systems and methods
摘要
<p>Catheter apparatuses having expandable mesh structures and associated systems and methods for intravascular renal neuromodulation are disclosed herein. A catheter treatment device includes an expandable mesh structure configured to position an energy delivery element in contact with a renal artery via an intravascular path. The mesh structure can assume an expanded configuration for direct and/or indirect application of thermal and/or electrical energy to heat or otherwise electrically modulate neural fibers that contribute to renal function. A collapsed configuration may facilitate insertion and/or removal of the catheter or repositioning of the energy delivery element within the renal artery. 54 '. -- 20 52 -90 1 42RA 50 44 22 4 -16 50 44 42 RA</p>
