Effects of different ablation points of renal denervation on the efficacy of resistant hypertension.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

To explore the blood pressure response to different ablation points of renal denervation (RDN) in patients with resistant hypertension.

Methods

A total of 42 cases with resistant hypertension treated by RDN in our center from 2013 to 2015 were retrospectively analyzed. The patients were divided into two groups according to the different ablation points of RDN: the standard treatment group (spiral ablation from near to proximal, with less than 8 points per artery) and the intensive treatment group (from near to far by spiral ablation, with at least 8 points per artery), with 21 patients in each group. The ablation parameters, including points, impedance, actual wattage, and actual temperature, were recorded intraoperatively. Renal angiography was performed again aft
