Abstract：
BACKGROUND:Arterial hypertension is one of the most common chronic diseases in the western world, affecting more than 25% of the adult population. AIM:The aim of this study was to assess changes in arterial blood pressure (BP) levels in hypertensive patients, after ablation of nerve terminals in renal arteries, using radiofrequency energy during 24 months of follow-up. METHODS:Thirty-two patients with diagnosed resistant hypertension (20 men and 12 women) underwent percutaneous catheter-based renal denervation of nerve terminals in renal artery walls. Mean BP value before ablation was [mm Hg]: systolic 174.92, diastolic 99.73 and pulse pressure 75.19. After procedure reduction value of BP was reported [mm Hg]: systolic 146.78; diastolic 87.14, pulse pressure 59.64 at 24-month follow-up (p < 0.05 for all). RESULTS:30% of patients had systolic BP ≤ 140 mm Hg, 67% had diastolic BP ≤ 90 mm Hg, and optimum BP values ≤ 140/90 mm Hg were observed in 30% of patients. CONCLUSIONS:In our cohort of patients, percutaneous renal artery ablation procedure effectively reduces systolic, diastolic BP and pulse pressure. No adverse events during 24 months of follow-up were noted. These results were comparable with available data from SIMPLICITY I and II trials.
