Authors' recommendations:
The technology is still experimental and results on safety and clinical efficacy are not yet available. The implant of the device involves a rather complex surgical procedure requiring high expertise for surgery and anaesthesia, and it is achievable only in appropriate facilities.
Assuming that further empirical studies can document its actual clinical value, it is reasonable to hypothesize that it will be limited to that subset of hypertensive patients whose blood pressure control is demonstrated not to be restored with other interventions (i.e. to ensure better patient compliance to treatment).
