Renal Intervention For Chronic Hypertension Pilot Trial Using The Verve Medical RPDTM System (RPD Pilot Trial)
Rochester, MN
The RPD Pilot trial will evaluate the safety and effectiveness of Verve Medical's RPDTM renal denervation system for hypertensive patients with uncontrolled blood pressure, despite use of two anti-hypertensive medications and lifestyle changes. The novelty of the RPDTM system relates to its placement via natural orifice into the pelvis of the kidney (bilaterally) for delivery of radiofrequency energy to ablate the nerves that pass through the outer wall of the renal pelvis, a technique referred to as renal pelvic denervation (RPD).
