MR-guided renal denervation: first experience in pigs
نویسندگان
چکیده
Background Renal nerve ablation under fluoroscopy has emerged as a promising therapy in patients non-responding to oral anti-hypertensive medications. However, a considerable drawback of this technique is the lack of exact and immediate therapy control. CMR has the advantage of simultaneously combining functional imaging, anatomic and intraprocedural guidance in one examination without radiation and ionidied contrast agents.

MR-guided high-focused ultrasound for renal sympathetic denervation—a feasibility study in pigs
BACKGROUND Renal sympathetic denervation has recently gained clinical relevance for the treatment of therapy-resistant hypertension. Denervation is currently mainly performed using catheter-based transarterial radiofrequency ablation of periarterial sympathetic nerve fibers. Since this approach has numerous limitations, we conducted a study to evaluate the feasibility, safety, and efficacy of m...
متن کاملEffect of applied energy in renal sympathetic denervation with magnetic resonance guided focused ultrasound in a porcine model
BACKGROUND Past catheter-based and focused ultrasound renal denervation studies have indicated that procedure efficacy is related to the number of ablations performed or the amount of energy used for the ablation. This study extends those prior results and investigates energy level effects on the efficacy of MR guided focused ultrasound renal denervation performed in a porcine model. METHODS ...

BACKGROUND To evaluate in vivo the feasibility and safety of renal sympathetic denervation (RSD) with different catheters and various radiofrequency protocols. METHODS AND RESULTS Twenty-two pigs were included. First 2 pigs were enrolled in a feasibility protocol using one catheter and power from 5 W to 20 W. The next 10 pigs underwent RSD with three different catheters and four different RF-...
متن کاملRenal sympathetic denervation using MR-guided high-intensity focused ultrasound in a porcine model.
BACKGROUND Initial catheter-based renal sympathetic denervation (RSD) studies demonstrated promising results in showing a significant reduction of blood pressure, while recent data were less successful. As an alternative approach, the objective of this study was to evaluate the feasibility of using magnetic resonance-guided high-intensity focused ultrasound (MRgHIFU) to perform RSD in a porcine...
