4A.10: PREFERENTIAL REDUCTION IN MORNING/NOCTURNAL HYPERTENSION BY RENAL DENERVATION FOR DRUG- RESISTANT HYPERTENSION: A NEW ABPM ANALYSIS OF SYMPLICITY HTN-3 AND HTN-JAPAN.
To study the impact of catheter-based renal artery denervation (RDN) on change in morning and night systolic BP (SBP) defined by ambulatory BP measurements (ABPM) 6 months post-randomization. ⋯ This analysis demonstrated that RDN significantly reduced morning and nighttime SBP compared with control patients suggesting potential benefit of this device approach on cardiovascular protection in drug-resistant hypertension when measurements are captured during higher risk time periods.

4A.09: SAFETY AND PERFORMANCE OF THE ENLIGHTN RENAL DENERVATION SYSTEM IN PATIENTS WITH SEVERE UNCONTROLLED HYPERTENSION: 12 MONTH RESULTS FROM THE ENLIGHTN II STUDY.
Percutaneous sympathetic renal artery denervation is available for the treatment of patients with resistant hypertension. We further investigated the safety and efficacy of a multi-electrode renal denervation system (EnligHTN™) in patients with severe uncontrolled hypertension. ⋯ In this real world, post-marketing study we demonstrate that multi-electrode renal denervation results in durable, highly significant and safe lowering of both office BP and ambulatory BP parameters in patients with severe uncontrolled hypertension up to 12 months following treatment.
