Safe, straightforward procedure with proven clinical results
in treatment-resistant hypertension patients:
1,2
• Over 2000 clinical and commercial patients treated to date
• No evidence of vascular injury/stenosis at treatment site by
imaging at 6 months
• Sustained renal function (eGFR and creatinine) with no
orthostatic or electrolyte disturbances
• SYMPLICITY HTN-2: 106-patient randomised study proving
treatment effect vs. medical management
• SYMPLICITY HTN-1: 153 patients enrolled in a series of
nonrandomised studies show durable results to 2 years
