Kidney nerve treatment for high blood pressure during heart procedures
Part of Heart & circulation, Kidney & urinary clinical trials.
This study tests whether a procedure called renal denervation (using energy to calm overactive kidney nerves) can help lower blood pressure in people who are already having two planned heart procedures. It is for those with high blood pressure that is hard to control despite taking multiple medicines.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have blockages in more than one heart artery.
- You already had a successful angioplasty (with stents) and are scheduled for another one within 1 to 6 weeks.
- You are at least 21 years old.
- Your blood pressure is still above 140 (top number) despite taking two or more blood pressure medicines.
- You do not have severe kidney failure, polycystic kidneys, or a single kidney, and you have not had a prior renal denervation procedure.

This study tests a procedure called renal denervation, which uses radiofrequency energy to calm overactive nerves in the kidneys, to see if it improves blood pressure and chest pain in people with small blood vessel disease in the heart. It may help if you have ongoing high blood pressure and chest pain despite treatment.
This study tests a procedure called renal denervation, which uses energy to calm overactive kidney nerves that can raise blood pressure. It is for people with mild high blood pressure who have not taken blood pressure medication for at least four weeks.
This trial tests a procedure called renal denervation, which uses targeted energy to calm overactive kidney nerves that can raise blood pressure. It is for people with high diastolic blood pressure (the bottom number) who have not yet taken blood pressure medication.
This trial tests a procedure called renal denervation (using radio waves to calm overactive nerves in the kidney) to see if it helps lower blood pressure in people on dialysis who have resistant high blood pressure.
This trial tests a new device that uses radiofrequency energy to calm overactive kidney nerves, which can help lower blood pressure. If you have high blood pressure that hasn't responded well to standard treatments, this could be an option to discuss with your doctor.
This study tests a procedure that uses sound waves to calm overactive kidney nerves, which may help lower blood pressure in people whose high blood pressure is hard to treat or who cannot tolerate blood pressure medicines.
