Does renal denervation improve renal perfusion, renal vascular resistance, and central hemodynamics in patients with treatment-resistant hypertension?
Renal denervation significantly reduces peripheral and central blood pressure as well as renal vascular resistance without compromising renal perfusion or function in patients with treatment-resistant hypertension.

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: Renal denervation (RDN) has been shown to be effective in reducing BP in treatment-resistant hypertension. Measurement of the renal and sympathetic activity revealed a decrease in sympathetic drive to the kidney and small resistance vessels after RDN. However, the consequences on renal perfusion and renal vascular resistance (RVR), as well as central hemodynamics, are unknown. DESIGN, SETTING, PARTICIPANTS, diastolic, 83±13 versus 76±9 mmHg, P=0.02) and mean systolic 24-hour ambulatory BP (159±17 versus 152±17 mmHg, P=0.02) were significantly reduced 6 months after RDN. Renal perfusion was not statistically different between day -1 and day +1 (256.8 interquartile range (IQR), 241-278 versus 263.4 IQR, 252-277 ml/min per 100 g; P=0.17) as well as after 3 months (256.8 IQR, 241-278 versus 261.2 IQR, 240-285 ml/min per 100 g; P=0.27) after RDN. RVR dropped (432.1 IQR, 359-525 versus 390.6 IQR, 338-461 AU; P=0.02), whereas renal function was not statistically different at any time point. Central systolic BP (145±31 versus 131±28 mmHg; P=0.009), diastolic BP (85±18 versus 80±14 mmHg; P=0.03), and central pulse pressure (61±18 versus 52±18 mmHg; P=0.02) were significantly reduced 6 months after RDN. Central augmentation index (24±8 versus 20±8%; P=0.02) was decreased 6 months after RDN. CONCLUSION: The data indicate that RDN significantly reduced peripheral and central BP. Despite reduced systemic BP, renal perfusion and function did not change after RDN.
Ott et al. (Fri,) conducted a observational in Treatment-resistant hypertension (n=19). Renal denervation vs. Baseline was evaluated on Peripheral office systolic blood pressure at 6 months (p=0.002). Renal denervation significantly reduced peripheral office systolic blood pressure from 158 mmHg to 142 mmHg at 6 months, while renal perfusion and function remained unchanged.
