Renal Artery Denervation Performed With Noncontact Circumferential Endovascular Ablation Using A Novel Microwave Catheter

高血压是导致死亡和残疾的常见疾病。有些高血压患者对药物治疗没有反应，因为肾脏发出的异常信号告诉身体增加血压。我们设计了一种微波导管，可以放置在肾动脉内，用来加热周围的肾神经，以阻止这些信息的传递。这将降低血压的人谁不能控制它与药物单独。

High blood pressure is a common medical condition leading to death and disability. Some people with high blood pressure do not respond to medical treatment due to abnormal signals from the kidneys that tell the body to increase the blood pressure. We have designed a microwave catheter that can be placed inside the kidney artery and used to heat the kidney nerves around it to stop the relay of these messages. This will lower blood pressure for people who cannot control it with medications alone.
