Denervación simpática renal en la hipertensión arterial refractaria

Abstract

Arterial hypertension is considered a worldwide disease, and its classification includes refractory arterial hypertension; its importance lies in the fact that, despite pharmacological and non-pharmacological treatments, blood pressure values remain high. Therefore, the scientific community has innovated in different methods to improve the patient's life, opting for therapies that, although invasive, are excellent options, as is the case of renal sympathetic denervation; the role of new devices in the therapy for resistant arterial hypertension was evidenced. The main result demonstrated that radiofrequency was the most used technique in the renal denervation procedure; it was shown that the techniques used for each process did not present serious complications. However, it was considered a treatment with great benefits for the population studied, through the prognosis, since a considerable decrease in systolic blood pressure of - 10 mmHg was obtained. It was confirmed that renal sympathetic denervation becomes safe and effective.
