摘要：
Apparatus, systems, and methods for achieving thermally-induced renal neuromodulation by intravascular access are disclosed herein. One aspect of the present application, for example, is directed to apparatuses, systems, and methods that incorporate a treatment device comprising an elongated shaft. The elongated shaft is sized and configured to deliver a thermal element to a renal artery via an intravascular path. Thermally-induced renal neuromodulation may be achieved via direct and/or via indirect application of thermal energy to heat or cool neural fibers that contribute to renal function, or of vascular structures that feed or perfuse the neural fibers.
摘要（中）：
本文公开了通过血管内通路实现热诱导的肾神经调节的装置，系统和方法。 本申请的一个方面，例如，涉及包含细长轴的治疗装置的装置，系统和方法。 细长轴的尺寸和构造适于通过血管内路径将热元件输送到肾动脉。 热诱导的肾神经调节可以通过直接和/或通过间接施加热能来加热或冷却有助于肾功能的神经纤维或者供给或灌注神经纤维的血管结构来实现。
