Renal Denervation Update

Following the release of the results of a large trial in the USA (HTN-3) renal denervation has been suspended in the UK for the time being. The trial suggested that reductions in blood pressure may simply be a placebo effect. As a result the joint British Societies have released a statement recommending a moratorium on all procedures, unless done as part of a trial. This position may well change in the future but for now we are unable to offer this procedure.
