Brief summary

Prospective, Multi-Center, Randomized, Parallel-Controlled, Uptake clinical trial to evaluate the efficacy and safety of the six-channel radiofrequency(RF) renal denervation system-comprising the six-channel radiofrequency generator (specification model: 25D1G, software release version: SRG-V1) and the disposable ultra-guiding radiofrequency denervation catheter (specification model: 25C6W127F115T)-for renal denervation in patients with uncontrolled hypertension and chronic kidney disease.

Detailed description

The six-channel RF renal denervation system, consisting of the six-channel radiofrequency generator (specification model: 25D1G, software release version: SRG-V1) and the disposable ultra-guiding radiofrequency denervation catheter (specification model: 25C6W127F115T), is designed and manufactured by Shanghai Golden Leaf MedTec Co., Ltd (BRATTEA) for renal artery radiofrequency denervation. This Prospective, Multi-Center, Randomized, parallel-controlled uptake clinical trial aims to evaluate the system's efficacy and safety for renal denervation in patients with uncontrolled hypertension and chronic kidney disease, and to provide clinical evidence supporting the expansion of indications. The trial will be conducted by the Regulations on the Supervision and Administration of Medical Devices, the Measures for the Administration of Medical Device Registration and Filing, the Good Clinical Practice for Medical Devices, and other applicable requirements.

Interventions

DSA-guided percutaneous renal sympathetic denervation using a six-channel RF renal denervation system-comprising the six-channel radiofrequency generator (specification model: 25D1G, software release version: SRG-V1) and the ultra-guiding radiofrequency denervation catheter (specification model: 25C6W127F115T)

Sham procedure including femoral artery puncture and selective renal angiography; the six-channel radiofrequency generator is connected to a dummy load and produces activation sounds, but no energy is delivered. Minimum table time before sheath removal is 35 minutes.
