Abstract
Devices, agents, and associated methods for selective modulation of renal nerves by localized delivery of neural ablative substances are disclosed herein. One aspect of the present technology is directed to a method for delivering a neuromodulatory agent (e.g., capsaicin) via a catheter to a kidney of the patient. The neuromodulatory agent selectively neuromodulates afferent renal nerves in a patient compared efferent renal nerves of the patient. The method can also include removing the catheter from the patient after delivering the neuromodulatory agent to conclude the procedure.
