Study Overview

Brief Summary

The TIVUS II is a prospective, multicenter, non-randomized, open-label clinical study of the safety and performance of the TIVUS™ System consisting of three (3) concurrent cohorts:

  • TIVUS™ Severe Resistant HTN Cohort
  • TIVUS™ Moderate Resistant HTN Cohort
  • TIVUS™ Failed RF Therapy Cohort

  • •Concurrent enrollment in another trial
  • •Main renal arteries < 4 mm in lumen diameter or < 20 mm in length
  • •Aorto-renal angle that prevents a safe cannulation of the renal artery
  • •Severe common femoral artery, common and/or external iliac artery, renal, iliac or aortic calcification or tortuosity that may compromise the safe performance and completion of the procedure
