Background: Historical reports on surgical renal denervation consistently describe renal plexus as a triangle or fan-like structure converging at the kidney gate. Following that anatomy, we developed a distal mode of radiofrequency renal denervation (RDN) mainly in segmental branches of the renal artery and confirmed its superior efficacy over the conventional main trunk procedure in a 6-months double-blind randomized controlled trial (NCT02667912). To assess the long-term effects of distal RDN we extended the follow-up of our study to three years.

Background: Effective treatment of uncontrolled hypertension using catheter-based percutaneous renal denervation may depend strongly on the anatomic strategy applied when delivering therapy. We hypothesized that concentering renal denervation treatment in the distal region of the artery would improve clinical response.

Methods And Results: We conducted a single-center, double-blind, randomized, controlled, and parallel group study (ClinicalTrials.
