Abstract:Background
Transcatheter renal denervation (RDN) has had inconsistent efficacy and concerns for durability of denervation. We aimed to investigate long‐term safety and efficacy of transcatheter microwave RDN in vivo in normotensive sheep in comparison to conventional radiofrequency ablation.
Methods and Results
Sheep underwent bilateral RDN, receiving 1 to 2 microwave ablations (maximum power of 80–120 W for 240 s–480 s) and 12 to 16 radi… Show more
