1. A method for perivascular nerve denervation using a catheter having a loop, comprising:
positioning the loop near a tissue, the loop including an electrode and a substrate;
causing the loop to emerge from a distal end of a shaft and curl around the tissue such that the loop curls onto itself as the loop continues to emerge
delivering energy to the electrode;
causing the electrode to convert the energy into heat energy; and
denervating at least a portion of the tissue using the heat energy.
