The rise and fall of interventional renal sympathetic denervation (RDN) as a treatment for arterial hypertension is a remarkable chapter in the scientific history of the 21st century. This once promising therapy has been abandoned by most clinicians after the neutral results of the Renal Denervation in Patients With Uncontrolled Hypertension (SYMPLICITY-HTN3) trial.1 It would have been easy to… View more

Resistant hypertension remains a serious clinical burden despite significant advances in cardiology and healthcare. Hypertension is a chronic condition without any available cure, with significant associated morbidity and mortality, and necessitates lifelong use of medications. It is multifactorial in origin, associated with genetics, lifestyle factors and the metabolic syndrome. Resistant… View more

Ultrasound Renal Denervation (uRDN) is an innovative therapy option for the treatment of uncontrolled hypertension. uRDN therapy is delivered in a minimally invasive procedure that may lower high blood pressure by treating overactive renal nerves with ultrasound energy. This page provides an overview of uRDN technology and the latest evidence from its associated RADIANCE clinical program. … View more

Renal artery stenosis (RAS) is a common manifestation of atherosclerotic disease. Although the exact prevalence rate for the population as a whole is unknown, RAS is seen in a significant proportion of patients who present with another manifestation of atherosclerosis (Table 1).1–7 Despite this high degree of prevalence, the management of RAS, specifically the role of revascularisation, remains… View more
