Renal denervation is an invasive method of treatment resistant hypertension. Percutaneous transluminal catheter-based ablation of the
sympathetic nerve endings in the wall of the renal arteries leads to a reduction in blood pressure, which persists for up to 3 years. The
largest and longest experience is evidenced by the renal denervation system Symplicity (Medtronic). The study of Symplicity HTN-1 and
Symplicity HTN-2 confirmed the safety and effectiveness of the procedures. The development of new renal denervation catheter-based
systems is promising in terms of greater efficiency, shorter duration and safety of the treatment.
