Renal Denervation Regional Course, Slides and Credit Claim-rRDN Recorded Case

Video Transcription

Video Summary

In this presentation, Eric Sosemski covers the use of the Medtronic Simplicity Spiral Renal Denervation System for treating uncontrolled hypertension. Sosemski, a consultant for Medtronic and other renal denervation companies, provides an overview of the technology, discusses his procedural approach, and presents case examples and outcomes. He emphasizes the importance of understanding the variability in renal nerve anatomy to enhance treatment efficacy. The Simplicity Spiral catheter features four electrodes for circumferential ablation, offering a safer and more effective approach than previous catheters. This system incorporates real-time feedback for safe application of thermal energy, minimizing the risk of arterial damage. Sosemski details the procedural steps, highlighting the need for thorough pre-procedural imaging, careful catheter and electrode placement, and management of patient comfort during the procedure. He shares a case study of a 53-year-old woman successfully treated with this method, achieving significant blood pressure reduction. The presentation concludes with an invitation to join a registry for practitioners using renal denervation, aiming to collaborate and share insights into this emerging treatment modality.
