TREND Asia - Transcatheter Renal Denervation 2011

Renal denervation is a new catheter based technique to treat severe arterial hypertension. The afferent and efferent renal nerves are interrupted by applying radiofrequency energy to the renal wall artery wall via an endovascular approach. This technique is a major breakthrough in antihypertensive therapy. The results of the randomised trial have been reported recently at the American Heart Association Congress in Chicago. In this one day workshop you will learn everything you need to know about this new and exciting therapy.
