Metabolic and Cardiovascular Effects of Renal Denervation

NCT02057224 · Status: TERMINATED · Phase: NA · Type: INTERVENTIONAL · Enrollment: 5

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

Renal denervation has recently shown to improve glucose metabolism and insulin sensitivity in addition to reducing blood pressure. The mechanisms are however unclear. The investigators hypothesize that renal denervation alters adipose tissue function by reduced sympathetic outflow, measured by fat biopsies and markers of inflammation and insulin sensitivity. 15 clinical patients undergoing renal denervation are recruited to the study investigating anthropometry, peripheral blood samples, body composition, heart rate variability and subcutaneous fat biopsies at baseline and 6 months after renal denervation.

PROCEDURE

Renal denervation using Medtronic Symplicity System (mono-electrode)

Secondary hypertension is excluded by an extensive preoperative clinical investigation and the renal artery anatomy is visualized by computer tomography (with contrast). By cannulating the femoral artery both renal arteries are treated by a radiofrequency-catheter, 4-6 ablations in each artery.
