advancing a piercing structure within a body of a patient and towards the heart;
positioning the piercing structure adjacent to an interatrial septum of the heart and penetrating a right atrium of the heart with the piercing structure at a location adjacent to interatrial septum to access a cavity encapsulated by one or more pericardial reflections of the heart; and
delivering a reinnervation material through the piercing structure to fill the cavity encapsulated by the one or more pericardial reflections.
