Renal sympathetic denervation (RSDN) is a minimally invasive, endovascular catheter based procedure using radiofrequency ablation or ultrasound ablation aimed at treating resistant hypertension (high blood pressure not controlled by medication). [1]
The procedure, renal denervation, was done April 25 at Millcreek Community Hospital to reduce chronically high blood pressure. Device automatically adjusts the power during nerve ablation.
Renal denervation involves using radio frequency or ultrasound to eliminate the sympathetic nerve supply to the kidney wall, aiming to lower blood pressure and treat chronic hypertension. [11] Renal denervation has become less common in recent years due to new evidence indicating that the procedure does not significantly lower blood pressure.
The system under study performs renal denervation, a procedure that emits a radio. The latest results from a study on Medtronic's Symplicity catheter system, announced on Jan. 9, raised a few ...
Radiofrequency ablation (RFA), also called fulguration, [1] is a medical procedure in which part of the electrical conduction system of the heart, tumor, sensory nerves or a dysfunctional tissue is ablated using the heat generated from medium frequency alternating current (in the range of 350–500 kHz).
Medical device maker St. Jude Medical has announced that it is moving forward with a study to determine if renal denervation and medication can improve the health of patients with uncontrolled ...
Palo Alto, CA, Jan. 13, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Recor Medical, Inc. (“Recor”) and its parent company, Otsuka Medical Devices Co., Ltd. (“Otsuka Medical Devices”) today announced that the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) have begun a National Coverage Analysis (NCA) of Renal Denervation (RDN), a medical device-based treatment for hypertension.
It employs a catheter-based device to cause thermal injury to the sympathetic nerves surrounding the renal arteries, with the aim of reducing renal sympathetic overactivity (so-called "renal denervation") and thereby reduce blood pressure. It has been employed in clinical trials for resistant hypertension. [51]
