Renal denervation using externally delivered focused ultrasound: summary of clinical experience to date and validation of supporting computational simulations
Background/introduction The Kona Medical Surround SoundTM System is a fully non-invasive system for renal denervation which employs ultrasound based imaging for targeting and tracking as well as a phased array therapeutic ultrasound transducer. To date, 69 patients have been treated under three different protocols (WAVE I, WAVE II, and WAVE III). Follow up ranges from 3 months to over 2 years. ...
متن کاملNoninvasive renal denervation for resistant hypertension using high-intensity focused ultrasound.
Renal denervation (RDN) has emerged as a promising therapy for patients with resistant hypertension and other diseases related to sympathetic overactivation. 1 High-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) has been demonstrated to be a novel strategy for effective noninvasive deep tissue ablation in clinical practice. 2 The exploration of HIFU has expanded to cardiovascular research, such as noninva...
متن کاملMR-guided high-focused ultrasound for renal sympathetic denervation—a feasibility study in pigs
BACKGROUND Renal sympathetic denervation has recently gained clinical relevance for the treatment of therapy-resistant hypertension. Denervation is currently mainly performed using catheter-based transarterial radiofrequency ablation of periarterial sympathetic nerve fibers. Since this approach has numerous limitations, we conducted a study to evaluate the feasibility, safety, and efficacy of m...
متن کاملRenal sympathetic denervation using MR-guided high-intensity focused ultrasound in a porcine model.
BACKGROUND Initial catheter-based renal sympathetic denervation (RSD) studies demonstrated promising results in showing a significant reduction of blood pressure, while recent data were less successful. As an alternative approach, the objective of this study was to evaluate the feasibility of using magnetic resonance-guided high-intensity focused ultrasound (MRgHIFU) to perform RSD in a porcine...
متن کاملFocused ultrasound to displace renal calculi: threshold for tissue injury
BACKGROUND The global prevalence and incidence of renal calculi is reported to be increasing. Of the patients that undergo surgical intervention, nearly half experience symptomatic complications associated with stone fragments that are not passed and require follow-up surgical intervention. In a clinical simulation using a clinical prototype, ultrasonic propulsion was proven effective at reposi...
