Abstract

Background: Recent sham-controlled randomized clinical trials have confirmed the safety and efficacy of catheter-based renal denervation (RDN). Long-term safety and efficacy data beyond 3 years are scarce. Here, we report on outcomes after RDN in a cohort of patients with resistant hypertension with an average of ≈9-year follow-up (FU). Methods: We recruited patients with resistant hypertension who were previously enrolled in various RDN trials applying radiofrequency energy for blood pressure (BP) lowering. All participants had baseline assessments before RDN and repeat assessment at long-term FU including medical history, automated office and ambulatory BP measurement, and routine blood and urine tests. We analyzed changes between baseline and long-term FU. Results: A total of 66 participants (mean±SD, 70.0±10.3 years; 76.3% men) completed long-term FU investigations with a mean of 8.8±1.2 years post-procedure. Compared with baseline, ambulatory systolic BP was reduced by -12.1±21.6 (from 145.2 to 133.1) mm Hg (P
