Brief summary

Single-center, single group study of the efficacy and safety of transcatheter renal denervation for treatment of patients with essential hypertension uncontrolled despite combined pharmacotherapy including 3 or more hypotensive drugs one of which is a diuretic. Bilateral transcatheter renal denervation will be performed on the top of existed pharmacotherapy. Change in blood pressure (BP), left ventricle (LV) mass, carotid artery thickness, renal artery blood flow and renal function, will be assessed at 6 and 12 months of follow-up.

Interventions

PROCEDUREBilateral radiofrequency sympathetic renal denervation

Bilateral radiofrequency sympathetic renal denervation is performed as percutaneous transluminal radiofrequency (RF) ablation of neural pathways in the renal artery walls and surrounding tissue using standard equipment for RF ablation of cardiac electrical pathways

Recruitment details

Consecutive patients admitted to our clinic for resistant hypertension were evaluated for eligibility according to selection criteria pre-defined in protocol of this study

Pre-assignment details

83 patients with true resistant hypertension were identified, 12 rejected the intervention, 11 were excluded for anatomical reasons: atherosclerosis of renal arteries - 7, multiple narrow renal arteries - 2, fibromuscular dysplasia (FMD) - 1 and aneurysm of renal artery - 1. Finally 53 subjects were included and undergone renal denervation

Participants by arm

ArmCount
Renal Denervation
All eligible patients undergo bilateral radiofrequency sympathetic renal denervation using endocardial ablation system: after standard renal angiography using femoral access a small size endocardial ablation catheter (5-6 F, 4 mm electrode) is inserted into renal artery and 4-8 point ablations are performed consecutively from distal part to aorta with 3-4 mm step and 90 degrees rotation on the upper, lower, front and back aspects of the artery to get circumferential coverage, then the procedure is repeated on the other side. Bilateral radiofrequency sympathetic renal denervation: Bilateral radiofrequency sympathetic renal denervation is performed as percutaneous transluminal radiofrequency (RF) ablation of neural pathways in the renal artery walls and surrounding tissue using standard equipment for RF ablation of cardiac electrical pathways
