Heart failure
Conditions
Interventions
The renal sympathetic denervation procedure will be started with gaining
femoral artery access, either left of right, using a standard endovascular
Seldinger technique to canulate the femoral artery

| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Primary safety endpoint The occurrence of a combined endpoint of cardiovascular death, rehospitalization for heart failure, and acute kidney injury at 6 months. Other study parameters (if applicable, APPENDIX IV for definitions) Secondary safety endpoints (at 1, 3 and 6 months and yearly up to 5 years): • Major access site bleeding • Individual parameters of the combined endpoint • Change in renal function (eGFR, Cystatine C) • Development of end stage renal failure • Newly acquired renal artery stenosis and/or repeat renal artery intervention. Secondary efficacy endpoints (at 1, 3 and 6 months and yearly up to 5 years): • NYHA class baseline and follow-up • Body weight reduction • 6 minute walk test • Change in diuretic dosage • Difference in 24-hour urine sodium excretion • Quality of life and overall physical and mental function (using RAND 36- item health survey [RAND-36] and the Kansas City Cardiomyopathy questionnaire). • Change in heart failure and diabetic medication • Echocardiographic endpoints (ejection fraction, wall thickness, dimensions, diastolic function, pulse wave velocity) (at baseline, 6 months and yearly up to 5y) • Blood and urine analyses (change in NT-proBNP and catecholamine levels, renal function, liver function, blood count, cholesterol levels, glycemic control) (at baseline, 3 months, 6 months and yearly up to 5y) | — |
