Clinical research progress in percutaneous catheter ablation of renal sympathetic nerve / 介入放射学杂志

ABSTRACT

Transcatheter renal sympathetic denervation with radiofrequency ablation has become a new treatment for refractory hypertension.Recent studies have showed that renal sympathetic denervation can also treat the diseases that are related to increased sympathetic nerve activity, such as metabolic diseases, cardiac disfunction, arrhythmia, obstructive sleep apnea syndrome, polycystic ovary syndrome, renal failure, etc. This paper aims to make a general review on the recent clinical research progress about renal sympathetic denervation with radiofrequency ablation.
