Brief summary

This small-scale, proof-of-concept pilot study aims to obtain preliminary evidence of msRDN procedural safety, feasibility, and short-term efficacy in patients with hypertension without medication therapy, to adequately plan an appropriate pivotal study.

Detailed description

This is a prospective, multicenter, single-arm, exploratory study enrolling 15 subjects across approximately four sites with a 6-month follow-up period. Subjects are patients with uncontrolled hypertension who receive 1-2 antihypertensive medications and have completed a minimum two-week medication wash-out period prior to enrollment, or patients with uncontrolled hypertension without medication therapy.

Interventions

DEVICEThe SymPioneer G2 Mapping/Selective Renal Denervation Device and SyMapCath Catheter II

Radiofrequency ablation of renal arterial sympathetic nerves
