Claim One:
1. A method for reducing blood pressure in a human patient, the method comprising: implanting a drug pump assembly in the patient below the patient's skin, wherein the drug pump assembly is operably connected to a first catheter and a second catheter; positioning the first catheter proximate a first renal blood vessel of the patient and adjacent to neural fibers innervating a first kidney of the patient; delivering, via the first catheter, a first neuromodulatory agent from the drug pump assembly to tissue external to the first renal blood vessel and in contact with or adjacent to the neural fibers innervating the first kidney, wherein the first neuromodulatory agent inhibits neural traffic along the neural fibers innervating the first kidney; positioning a second catheter proximate a second renal blood vessel of the patient and adjacent to neural fibers innervating a second kidney of the patient; and delivering, via the second catheter, a second neuromodulatory agent from the drug pump assembly to tissue external to the second renal blood vessel and in contact with or adjacent to the neural fibers innervating the second kidney, wherein the second neuromodulatory agent inhibits neural traffic along the neural fibers innervating the second kidney, wherein inhibiting neural traffic along the neural fibers innervating the first kidney and the second kidney results in a therapeutically beneficial reduction in blood pressure of the patient.
