SYMPLICITY HTN-3 Renal Denervation in Patients With Uncontrolled Hypertension

Not Applicable
Completed
Conditions
Uncontrolled Hypertension
Registration Number
NCT01418261
Lead Sponsor
Medtronic Vascular
Brief Summary

The Symplicity HTN-3 study is a, multi-center, prospective, single-blind, randomized, controlled study of the safety and effectiveness of renal denervation in subjects with uncontrolled hypertension. Bilateral renal denervation will be performed using the Symplicity Catheter - a percutaneous system that delivers radiofrequency (RF)energy through the luminal surface of the renal artery.
