#$%^&*AU2011236083A120120510.pdf#####ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE 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.3/24 54 '. 24 1 166 -- 20 52 -90 1 42RA 50 44 22 4 RP RP RP FIG. 3 24 52 -16 50 44 42 RA 55 FIG. 4
