Authors' objectives:
To assess the available evidence on the efficacy, safety and coverage related aspect regarding RSDRA use for refractory arterial hypertension.
Authors' recommendations:
The evidence found was of moderate methodological quality. The use of RSDRA associated to the underlying medical treatment proved to be useful in reducing BP in RAH patients at short and middle term (up to 24 months). The procedure could be taken into account only in those RAH patients under treatment at the maximum tolerated doses and adequate adherence, who have failed with all previous measures and if carried out by highly-qualified professionals. Potential subgroups that might benefit could be patients with RAH and kidney failure, due to increase in their sympathetic activity. Long-term studies are required to further assess its indications as well as its morbidity and mortality.
