Abstract
A device for compressing a renal artery prior to delivery of radiofrequency ablative energy to the renal nerves. The device includes a stent structure with a focal region that expands outwards to place the RF electrodes located on the stent structure in close proximity to the renal nerves. A covering is applied to the stent structure to prevent intimal hyperplasia.
