Brief summary

The purpose of this observational study is to further evaluate the safety and performance of the EnligHTN™ Renal Denervation System in the treatment of patients with uncontrolled hypertension in clinical routine practice.

Detailed description

This is a post market, multi-center, open label, observational study. Approximately 500 subjects with uncontrolled hypertension will undergo renal artery ablation at approximately 40 investigational sites located in Germany and will be followed for 1 year post procedure.The expected duration of the investigation will be approximately 4 years.
