Catheter-Based Renal Denervation in Uncontrolled and Resistant Hypertension: Evidence, Guidelines, Special Populations and Clinical Implementation

Key takeaways

This is a review of renal denervation, a procedure that threads a catheter into the arteries feeding the kidneys and quiets the nerves there to lower blood pressure. It summarizes existing trials and guidelines and discusses which patients might be candidates, including people with kidney disease. It is a summary of work already published, not a new study, so it adds no new results. High blood pressure is a main driver of kidney decline, which is why this procedure keeps being studied.
