Bifurcated delivery assemblies provide bilateral access to first and second branch lumens extending from a main body space or lumen in a patient. One or more interventional devices are combined with the delivery assemblies for delivery s into one or both of the branch lumens. Bilateral renal stenting or embolic protection procedures are performed using the combination delivery/interventional device assemblies. Fluids may also be injected or aspirated from the assemblies. A bifurcated catheter has a first fluid port located on one bifurcation branch, a second fluid port located on a second branch of the bifurcation, and a third fluid port positioned so as to be located within a vena cava when the first and second ports are positioned bilaterally within first and second renal veins.

What is claimed is: 1. A medical device assembly for performing an interventional procedure in at least one renal vessel extending from an aorta in a body of a patient, comprising: a bifurcated catheter assembly having a proximal end portion and a distal end portion with first and second branches;
What is claimed is: 1. A medical device assembly for performing an interventional procedure in at least one renal vessel extending from an aorta in a body of a patient, comprising: a bifurcated catheter assembly having a proximal end portion and a distal end portion with first and second branches; wherein the first and second branches each have a pre-formed shape for substantially self-cannulating bi-laterally within first and second renal vessels that extend from the aorta; wherein the first branch is adapted to be positioned within the first renal vessel and is adapted to position, at least in part, an interventional device within the first renal vessel. 2. The assembly of claim 1, wherein the interventional device assembly comprises a member selected from the group consisting of a stent, an embolic protection assembly, a guidewire, and a sensor. 3. The assembly of claim 1, wherein the interventional device assembly comprises a filter wire and a stent that is adapted to be delivered to the first renal vessel via the filter wire and the first branch. 4. The assembly of claim 1, wherein the interventional device assembly is attached to the first branch. 5. The assembly of claim 1, wherein the second branch is adapted to contact a wall of the aorta with a force sufficient to assist positioning the first branch within the first renal vessel via a first ostium along the aorta. 6. The assembly of claim 1, wherein the second branch is adapted to be positioned within a second renal vessel via a second ostium along the aorta. 7. The assembly of claim 6, wherein the first and second branches are adapted to be located within the first and second renal vessels via the first and second ostia, respectively, simultaneously. 8. The assembly of claim 1, wherein the interventional device comprises a first interventional device assembly, and further comprising a second interventional device assembly, and wherein the first branch is adapted to deliver the first interventional device assembly into the first renal vessel, and the second branch is adapted to deliver the second interventional device assembly into the second renal vessel. 9. The assembly of claim 8, wherein each of the first and second interventional device assemblies comprises a member selected from the group consisting of a stent, an embolic protection assembly, a guidewire, and a sensor. 10. The assembly of claim 1, further comprising: a source of fluid agent; and wherein the bifurcated catheter assembly is adapted to couple to the source and to deliver the fluid agent into at least one of the first and second renal vessels. 11. The assembly of claim 10, wherein the fluid agent comprises a member selected from the group consisting of a renal protective agent and a saline. 12. The assembly of claim 1, wherein the interventional device comprises a stent selected from the group consisting of a self-expandable stent, a balloon-expandable stent, and a drug eluting stent. 13. The assembly of claim 1, wherein the interventional device comprises an embolic protection assembly selected from the group consisting of a proximal embolic protection assembly and a distal embolic filter assembly. 14. The assembly of claim 1, wherein the interventional device comprises a proximal embolic filter assembly, the medical device assembly further comprising a vacuum source coupled to the first branch in a manner adapted to aspirate material from the first renal vessel. 15. The assembly of claim 1, wherein the interventional device comprises a distal embolic filter assembly having an adjustable porous wall having as first position that is adapted to be delivered to the first renal vessel at a filter location and a second position that is adapted to span substantially across the first renal vessel at the filter location, and wherein the porous wall in the second position at the filter location is adapted to substantially block passage of emboli over a predetermined size. 16. The assembly of claim 1, further comprising: a delivery sheath with a proximal end portion and a distal end portion; wherein the distal end portion is adapted to be positioned within the aorta; and wherein the delivery sheath is adapted to deliver the bifurcated catheter to the aorta at a location associated with a first ostium. 17. The assembly of claim 1, wherein the first branch comprises a first distal port that is fluidly coupled to a first proximal port located along the proximal end portion. 18. The assembly of claim 1, wherein the second branch comprises a second distal port that is fluidly coupled to a second proximal port located along the proximal end portion. 19. The assembly of claim 1, wherein the first branch comprises an expandable member secured thereto.
