Authors' objectives: Is RDN an effective and safe technique to lower the blood pressure in patients with treatment resistant hypertension, and does it result in reduced mortality and less target organ damage?
Authors' recommendations: This catheter-based method, used for patients with therapy-resistant hypertension, significantly reduces blood pressure. Even though follow-up data for more than two years are lacking, present data suggest that the method may be safely used as a treatment alternative in this category of patients. The present data suggests that the method may be a valuable treatment alternative in therapy resistant hypertension.
