1. A method for performing renal denervation, the method comprising:

  • positioning a catheter within a renal artery of a human patient and proximate to renal nerves of the patient;

    intravascularly positioning a first electrode carried by the catheter within a first vessel branching from the renal artery;

    intravascularly positioning a second electrode carried by the catheter within a second vessel branching from the renal artery, wherein the second vessel is different than the first vessel; and

    thermally modulating a function of the renal nerves via radio frequency (RF) energy from the first and second electrodes.
