Renal Denervation Regional Course, Slides and Credit Claim-uRDN Case Recording

Video Transcription

Video Summary

The video provides a comprehensive overview of the ultrasound renal denervation procedural strategy using the ReCore Paradise system, a balloon-based device approved in the U.S. This device uses ultrasound-based heating with a water cooling balloon to deliver circumferential ablations for reducing blood pressure by targeting renal nerves. The procedure involves inserting the device into the renal artery, ensuring it doesn't affect areas with plaque to avoid stenosis, and executing quick, seven-second sonications. The importance of CT scans for pre-procedure planning, accurate sizing of balloons ranging from three to eight millimeters, and the use of standard interventional techniques with conscious sedation are emphasized. The setup requires preparatory steps to ensure efficacy and safety, and while patients may feel discomfort despite sedation, thorough planning and precise execution can optimize outcomes and enhance patient safety and comfort.
