Abstract
A method for positioning an electrode array of a neuromodulation catheter at a target circumferential position along a posterior wall of a blood vessel. The method includes advancing the catheter to a target longitudinal position within the blood vessel and positioning the array within the blood vessel so as to minimize interference by CRM leads or coils in the blood vessel during therapeutic delivery of energy using the array.
