Renal Sympathetic Denervation for the Treatment of Difficult-to-Control or Resistant Hypertension
International Journal of Hypertension, 2011 Hypertension represents a major health problem with an appalling annual toll. Despite the plethora of antihypertensive drugs, hypertension remains resistant in a considerable number of patients, thus creating the need for alternative strategies ...

Renal denervation in a patient with Alport syndrome and rejected renal allograft
Indian Heart Journal, 2015 Renal denervation is a new intervention to treat resistant hypertension. By applying radiofrequency (RF) to renal arteries, sympathetic nerves in adventitia layer of vascular wall can be denervated.

Short-term Safety and Efficiency of Cryoablation for Renal Sympathetic Denervation in a Swine Model
Chinese Medical Journal, 2015 Background: Renal sympathetic nerves are involved in the reflective activation of the sympathetic nervous system in circulatory control. Catheter-based renal denervation (RDN) ameliorated treatment-resistant hypertension safely, but 10%-20% of treated ...

Renal denervation for resistant hypertension
Revista Portuguesa de Cardiologia, 2015 There is a marked contrast between the high prevalence of hypertension and the low rates of adequate control. A subset of patients with suboptimal blood pressure control have drug-resistant hypertension, in the pathophysiology of which chronic ...

Renal 123I-MIBG Uptake before and after Live-Donor Kidney Transplantation
Diagnostics, 2020 Increased sympathetic activity is suggested to be part of the pathogenesis in several diseases. Methods to evaluate sympathetic activity and renal nervous denervation procedural success are lacking. Scintigraphy using the norepinephrine analog Iodine-123

Renal sympathetic denervation: renal nerve stimulation [PDF]
, 2019 This thesis is a collection of research regarding high blood pressure and renal sympathetic denervation. High blood pressure is a silent killer and a major risk factor for cardiovascular disease. Treatment of an elevated blood pressure can be achieved with medication. When medication fails and patients appear to suffer from drug resistant hypertension,
