Building a Renal Denervation Program-Communicating the Level of Evidence for RND

Communicating the Level of Evidence for RND

Video Transcription

Video Summary

In this video, the speaker provides a summary of the evidence and clinical trials supporting ultrasound renal denervation as a treatment for hypertension. The procedure involves using a balloon catheter with an ultrasound built into it to heat the periadventrial nerves, leading to their ablation. The speaker discusses three sham-controlled trials that demonstrate the effectiveness of this approach, including drops in blood pressure compared to the sham group. The therapy appears to be durable for up to two years and does not have significant safety concerns. The speaker concludes by emphasizing the positive results, durability, and safety of the therapy. No credits were provided. The transcript contains 345 words.
