Renal denervation for treatment of hypertension： current status and challenges

doi:10.16150/j.1671-2870.2025.05.001

Abstract

Abstract:

Renal denervation (RDN) represents a novel therapeutic approach for hypertension and has made significant progress over the past decade. This study reviews the main evidence from domestic and international randomized controlled clinical trials of RDN for hypertension treatment and provides an in-depth exploration of the critical unresolved issues in RDN therapy. These include how to establish precise patient selection systems, optimize renal nerve ablation techniques and intraoperative evaluation standards for denervation efficacy, and conduct large-scale, long-term follow-up stu-dies to evaluate benefits on cardiovascular hard endpoints.

Key words: Renal denervation, Hypertension, Therapy
