Detailed Description
This study is a prospective, single-arm, multi-center, non-randomized trial to evaluate the initial safety and performance of renal denervation with the iRF system for the treatment of hypertension.
Study Design
Arms and Interventions
| Arm | Intervention/Treatment |
|---|---|
| Experimental: Renal denervation Renal denervation with the iRF system |
Device: iRF System Renal Denervation
The iRF System is a percutaneous, catheter-based device which uses RF energy to circumferentially denervate the sympathetic nerves surrounding the artery

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures
- Rate of Major Adverse Events [Index Procedure through 30 days]
Incidence of the following Major Adverse Events (MAEs) Death (all-cause) New onset end stage renal disease Significant embolic events resulting in end-organ damage Renal artery perforation or dissection requiring intervention Hospital admission for hypertensive crisis not related to confirmed non-adherence with medications or protocol New renal stenosis > 70 %
Secondary Outcome Measures
- Change in Systolic/Diastolic Blood Pressure - Average Automated Office Blood Pressure [Time Frame: 30, 90, 180 and 365 days]
Change from baseline in systolic/diastolic blood pressure as indicated by average automated office blood pressure
- Change in Systolic/Diastolic Blood Pressure - Ambulatory Blood Pressure Monitoring [Time Frame: 90, 180 and 365 days]
Change from baseline in systolic/diastolic blood pressure as indicated by ambulatory blood pressure monitoring
- Effects on renal function assessed with glomerular filtration rate [Time Frame: 30, 90, 180 and 365 days]
Change from baseline in renal function as indicated by eGFR
