Why the study?
Does transcatheter non-contact microwave ablation enable circumferential renal artery denervation while sparing the vessel intima and media?
Does transcatheter non-contact microwave ablation enable circumferential renal artery denervation while sparing the vessel intima and media?
Transcatheter non-contact microwave ablation represents a feasible novel approach for renal denervation that may achieve complete denervation while protecting the vessel wall.
Hypothesis-generating for microwave RDN; leaves open clinical translation, efficacy, and safety in humans.
Transcatheter microwave ablation for RDN appears feasible and provides a heating pattern that may enable more complete denervation while sparing the renal arterial intima and media.
