Abstract:
A surgical apparatus for delivering fluid to treat renal hypertension including an elongated member having a distal tip and a plurality of openings formed in a sidewall proximal of the distal tip. A plurality of fluid delivery members are movably positioned in the elongated member, each of the fluid delivery members having a lumen and at least one opening communicating with the lumen for delivering fluid extravascularly. An actuator is operatively associated with the fluid delivery members, the actuator actuable to a first position to move the fluid delivery members from a retracted position within the elongated member to a deployed position extending radially with respect to the elongated member. A balloon is expandable radially from the elongated member to seal the renal artery during application of fluid through the fluid delivery members.
