Radiofrequency renal arteries denervation: effectively and safely

Abstract

Objective. To determine the possibility of radio frequency denervation of the renal arteries (RDN) in the treatment of patients with refractory essential hypertension (GRA). Materials and methods. The study included 57 patients with a diagnosis of the guide RAG. According to the results of surveys conducted by RDA was performed of 25 patients diagnosed with essential RAG. Within 12 months after the procedure was carried out monitoring of clinical blood pressure (BP), BP monitoring (ABPM), and laboratory evaluation of renal function and renal artery ultrasound. Statistical analysis was performed using Statistica 6.1 program, significant differences were recognized when p<0.05. Results. Within 12 months after the RDN with the group there was a significant decrease in blood pressure (p<0.01) according to the data of the clinical measurements, and the results of ABPM. There were no complications in the place of performance of radio-frequency effects or violation of renal excretory function has been reported. According to the results of the analysis, predictors of effectiveness RDN not identified. Conclusion. Radiofrequency denervation of the renal arteries is a safe and effective non-drug methods in complex treatment of refractory essential hypertension.
