Abstract:
1. A local renal therapy system, comprising: an introducer sheath with a tubular wall with a proximal end portion, a distal end portion that is adapted to be positioned at a location within an abdominal aorta associated with first and second renal ostia of first and second renal arteries, respectively, while the proximal end portion extends externally from the patient, and an introducer lumen that extends along a longitudinal axis between a proximal port along the proximal end portion and a distal port along the distal end portion; a bilateral renal delivery assembly with a local injection assembly that is adapted to be delivered to the location in a first condition through the introducer lumen; wherein the introducer sheath has an adjustable length between a first configuration and a second configuration; wherein in the first configuration the introducer sheath has a first length that is adapted to deliver the local injection assembly in a first condition to the location; wherein in the second configuration the introducer sheath has a second length that is shorter than the first length and that corresponds with the local injection assembly extending in a second condition distally from the distal port at the location; and wherein in the second condition at the location the local injection assembly is adapted to be coupled to a source of fluid agent externally of the patient and to deliver a volume of fluid from the source bilaterally into each of the two renal arteries.
