    摘要: Apparatus are provided for bilateral renal neuromodulation, e.g. via a pulsed electric field, via a stimulation electric field, via localized drug delivery, via high frequency ultrasound, via thermal techniques, etc. Such neuromodulation may effectuate irreversible electroporation or electrofusion, necrosis and/or inducement of apoptosis, alteration of gene expression, action potential attenuation or blockade, changes in cytokine up-regulation and other conditions in target neural fibers. In some embodiments, neuromodulation is applied to neural fibers that contribute to renal function. In some embodiments, such neuromodulation is performed in a bilateral fashion. Bilateral renal neuromodulation may provide enhanced therapeutic effect in some patients as compared to renal neuromodulation performed unilaterally, i.e. as compared to renal neuromodulation performed on neural tissue innervating a single kidney.

    摘要: Disclosed is a ureteral stent (10) having a body (11) and a tail (12). The body of the stent has a renal area (13) intended to be placed in a kidney of a patient, a ureteral area (15) intended to be placed in at least part of a ureter of the patient, and a proximal area (16) arranged at a proximal end of the body of the stent. The tail has at least one thread intended to end in the bladder of the patient. The proximal area (16) is tubular, has a cylindrical shape and is of annular cross section, and has a flexibility greater than the flexibility of the ureteral area of the stent.
