11. Lancet. 2010. published electronically on November 17, 2010
• Purpose: To demonstrate the effectiveness of catheter-based renal
denervation for reducing blood pressure in patients with uncontrolled
hypertension in a prospective, randomized, controlled, clinical trial
• Patients: 106 patients randomized 1:1 to treatment with renal
denervation vs. control
• Clinical Sites: 24 centers in Europe, Australia, & New Zealand
(67% were designated hypertension centers of excellence)

18. • Long-lasting effect of renal denervation beyond currently
documented 36 months is uncertain
• Repeated intervention for patients with inadequate response
to a first RDN procedure has been raised. with present
knowledge, this could not be recommended.
• In contrast to some antihypertensive drug regimen, renal
denervation has not been shown to affect cardiovascular
morbidity and mortality. The multicentre, prospective, singleblinded, randomized, placebo-controlled
(NCT01418261) is recruiting patients in
the USA, which will hopefully answer the question.

Diabetes mellitus and insulin resistance
In a pilot study renal denervation positively influenced glucose metabolism in patients with
resistant hypertension (Mahfoud F et al. Circulation 2011;123:1940-1946)
•
Cardiac effects
One published study investigated the effects of renal denervation on left ventricular mass and
diastolic filling pattern in 46 patients with resistant hypertension. Renal denervation was
associated with substantial reductions in blood pressure and significantly reduced left
ventricular mass. Diastolic function was also improved (Brandt MC et al. J Am Coll Cardiol
2012;59:901-909)
•
Chronic kidney disease
In 15 patients with moderate-to-severe chronic kidney renal denervation was effective in terms
of blood pressure lowering and there was no evidence of a further decline in GFR or effective
renal plasma flow 6 months after the procedure. (Hering D et al J Am Soc Nephrol
2012;23:1250-1257)
•
Antiarrhythmic effects
27 patients were randomized to pulmonary vein isolation alone or pulmonary vein isolation plus
renal denervation. Besides significant reductions in blood pressure, patients in the pulmonary
vein isolation plus renal denervation group experienced significantly fewer episodes of atrial
fibrillation at follow-up. (Pokushalov E. et al. J Am Coll Cardiol 2012;60:1163-1170)
20. • Catheter-based radiofrequency ablation of renal nerves
reduces blood pressure and improves blood pressure
control in patients with drug-treated resistant
hypertension, with data now extending out to 36 months
• In patients with resistant hypertension, whose blood
pressure cannot be controlled by a combination of
lifestyle modification and pharmacological therapy
according to current Guidelines
• Renal denervation may also be beneficial in other clinical
states characterized by sympathetic nervous system
activation
