BLOOD PRESSURE PROCEDURE
How it works
The renal denervation blood pressure procedure provides another management option for people with uncontrolled high blood pressure.*1–3
What the renal denervation procedure does
The renal denervation blood pressure procedure calms excessively active nerves connected to the kidneys that may be contributing to your high blood pressure.4
Expect a safe and effective procedure.
- No negative effect on kidney function*3,5-7
- > 20,000 people worldwide have received it†7
Adverse events include, but are not limited to, bruising and pain. Results may vary.
One day to help lower your blood pressure
The renal denervation blood pressure procedure usually only takes up one day of your schedule, and can be done on an outpatient basis with your doctor's approval.
Always follow the instructions specified by your doctor or the nursing staff. Always follow the discharge instructions provided by your physician after your procedure.
*
Through three years in a patient registry.
