Resistant hypertension: treatment with percutaneous renal denervation = Hipertensión Arterial Resistente: tratamiento con terapia de denervación renal percutánea

Abstract

We report the cases of three women with resistant hypertension who had no adequate response to pharmacological treatment with more than five classes of different anti-hypertensive drugs given in optimal doses and with appropriate schedules. Secondary causes of hypertension were ruled out. Percutaneous renal denervation therapy was successful and without complications. Clinical follow-up revealed significant improvement in the control of hypertension.
