Abstract
Provided is a catheter including a shaft having a distal end removably connected to a distal portion and a proximal end coupled to a holder; a loop disposed near the distal end and configured to curl around a tissue and receive, via the shaft, energy to denervate at least a portion of the tissue; a loop control disposed on a butt of the holder and configured to deliver a mechanical bending force to the loop. The loop includes at least a portion made of a shape-memory alloy whose shape changes at a critical temperature. In a first mode, the loop is configured to curl around the tissue at a first curvature at a temperature below the critical temperature by the mechanical bending force. In a second mode, the loop is configured to curl around the tissue at a second curvature at a temperature above the critical temperature.
