Abstract
Introduction: Renal denervation (RDN) is an emerging therapy for resistant hypertension. The therapeutic intravascular ultrasound (TIVUS) system offers a nonocclusive, multidirectional approach, but its long-term efficacy and safety remain unknown.
Methods: We prospectively followed 12 patients with severe resistant hypertension who underwent bilateral ultrasound RDN as part of the TIVUS trial. Office BP was measured at baseline, 1, 3, 6, and 12 months; 24-h ambulatory BP at years 1, 2, 5, and 10. Estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) and adverse events were tracked. BP changes were analyzed using mixed-effects models adjusted for baseline covariates.
Results: Mean age was 65 ± 8 years; 75% had diabetes. Baseline office BP averaged 176/84 mm Hg. The procedure was completed in all patients without complications. Systolic office BP decreased by 22.1 mm Hg at 1 month and 36.2 mm Hg at 12 months (both p < 0.001). At 10 years, office BP reductions were -38.6/-13.3 mm Hg (p < 0.001). Ambulatory BP declined from 149.4 ± 9.8 to 128.4 ± 10.0 mm Hg (ASBP) and from 85.0 ± 8.5 to 74.4 ± 9.2 mm Hg (ADBP). The 10-year change in antihypertensive defined daily doses was -1.70 (95% CI -2.75 to -0.38; p = 0.002). eGFR declined modestly (68.6 to 60.2 mL/min/1.73 m2), consistent with aging. No procedure-related adverse events occurred.
Conclusion: TIVUS ultrasound RDN achieved durable BP reduction with preserved renal function over 10 years.
期刊介绍:
This journal comprises both clinical and basic studies at the interface of nephrology, hypertension and cardiovascular research. The topics to be covered include the structural organization and biochemistry of the normal and diseased kidney, the molecular biology of transporters, the physiology and pathophysiology of glomerular filtration and tubular transport, endothelial and vascular smooth muscle cell function and blood pressure control, as well as water, electrolyte and mineral metabolism. Also discussed are the (patho)physiology and (patho) biochemistry of renal hormones, the molecular biology, genetics and clinical course of renal disease and hypertension, the renal elimination, action and clinical use of drugs, as well as dialysis and transplantation. Featuring peer-reviewed original papers, editorials translating basic science into patient-oriented research and disease, in depth reviews, and regular special topic sections, ''Kidney & Blood Pressure Research'' is an important source of information for researchers in nephrology and cardiovascular medicine.
