Results for tag: "Renal Denervation"

Renal Denervation is a minimally invasive procedure used to treat hypertension, or high blood pressure, by targeting the nerves that control the kidneys. It is a type of cardiovascular device that works by blocking the signals that cause the kidneys to produce hormones that increase blood pressure. The procedure is performed using a catheter that is inserted into the femoral artery and guided to the renal artery. Once in place, the catheter delivers radiofrequency energy to the renal nerves, which disrupts the signals that cause the kidneys to produce hormones that increase blood pressure. Renal Denervation is a relatively new procedure, but it has been gaining traction in recent years as an effective treatment for hypertension. It is a safe and minimally invasive procedure that can be performed in an outpatient setting, and it has been shown to reduce blood pressure in patients with resistant hypertension. Some companies in the Renal Denervation market include Medtronic, Abbott, Boston Scientific, and ReCor Medical. Show Less Read more
