Workshop on Building a Renal Denervation Program-Case Presentation, Dr. Eric Secemsky

Video Transcription

Video Summary

Eric Sosemski from Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center presents on the use of the Medtronic Simplicity Spiral Renal Denervation System for treating uncontrolled hypertension. He outlines the procedure, emphasizing the importance of understanding renal anatomy and previous trial lessons for effective treatment. The procedure focuses on ablating nerves primarily in distal branches and accessory arteries to avoid complications. The Simplicity Spiral catheter, which features four electrodes for safer, non-overlapping circumferential ablation, is highlighted for its user-friendly design. Sosemski discusses the procedural flow, including renal anatomy identification, patient sedation, and equipment specifics, stressing safety and precision. A case study of a 53-year-old woman with uncontrolled hypertension is showcased, detailing the procedure’s steps, use of technology feedback, and positive outcomes in reducing blood pressure. The significance of a supportive hypertension program is also noted, with the procedure serving as one option among others for patient care. Initial results from their registry show promising blood pressure reductions. Sosemski invites further engagement with the registry and offers his assistance for future inquiries.
