Abstract

A wire frame bearing one or more circularly-configured RF electrodes can be contacted against the inner surface of the aorta such that the circular electrodes ablate the nerve activity circumferentially around the renal artery ostium. The wire frame has a shape memory and can be positioned in a collapsed, non-deployed position at the end of a catheter and encapsulated within a sheath and then advanced longitudinally through the blood vessel to the relevant location within the body lumen. The sheath is then withdrawn, allowing the wire frame to be expanded into its deployed position in which it conforms to the walls of the lumen, so as to thereby allow the electrodes to contact the lumen wall to perform the ablation.
