Background Renal sympathetic denervation has recently gained clinical relevance for the
treatment of therapy-resistant hypertension. Denervation is currently mainly performed using …

Background Initial catheter-based renal sympathetic denervation (RSD) studies
demonstrated promising results in showing a significant reduction of blood pressure, while …

Background Past catheter-based and focused ultrasound renal denervation studies have
indicated that procedure efficacy is related to the number of ablations performed or the …

Objectives: This study investigated the feasibility of noninvasive renal sympathetic
denervation (RSD) by using the novel approach of extracorporeal high-intensity focused …

Background Renal sympathetic hyperactivity is associated with hypertension, a leading
cause of mortality worldwide. Renal sympathetic denervation via the Symplicity Catheter …

Background Renal nerves are a recent target in the treatment of hypertension. Renal
sympathetic denervation (RSD) is currently performed using catheter-based radiofrequency …

Objectives: Catheter-based renal artery denervation has been successfully introduced as
alternative treatment for patients suffering from drug-resistant essential hypertension …

Purpose To assess the safety and performance of a nonfocused and nonballooned
ultrasonic (US) catheter–based renal sympathetic denervation (RDN) system in …

Purpose To evaluate the feasibility and efficacy of image-guided periarterial ethanol
injection as an alternative to transluminal radiofrequency ablation. Methods Unilateral renal …

Methods We investigated the feasibility of using intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) to locate
nerves and observe nerve integrity changes during RDN in a pig. To confirm our …
