Abstract
A previous report using the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey demonstrated an increase in the prevalence of resistant hypertension, which does not respond to traditional therapy and medication. Studies using various animal hypertensive models have demonstrated significant blood pressure (BP) reduction following renal artery denervation (RDN). Catheter-based RDN became available in clinical trials as a possible treatment option for resistant hypertension. Although first clinical trials of RDN have demonstrated the efficacy and safety of this treatment mortality for lowering BP in patients with resistant hypertension, the role of RDN has been questioned since the results of the Symplicity HTN-3 trial. Considering the ethnic differences demonstrated in the Symplicity HTN-Japan and Global Symplicity registry, by contrast, RDN might be an effective for resistant hypertension in Asian population. Here, we discuss RDN applications and technology, the old and new clinical evidence of RDN, patients' selection of RDN responder, and optimization of RDN procedure in this review. The available evidence demonstrates that RDN could be effective in carefully selected patients with resistant hypertension, paving the way for future research in this area.

Abstract
Background/Aims We assessed the feasibility of renal sympathetic denervation (RDN) treatment in patients with resistant hypertension using the Iberis® RDN system. This study was a prospective, multicenter, single-arm feasibility registry. Methods We collected data from patients who underwent RDN treatment using the Iberis system. From November 2014 to February 2016, 16 patients from 6 centers in Europe were enrolled in this registry. Results Consistent reductions in the 24-h systolic blood pressure (SBP) and diastolic blood pressure were obtained. At any follow-up point, more than 70% of the patients were responders. The change in the 24-h SBP at 1 month was strongly correlated with that at 12 months. Conclusion The Iberis system is safe and effective in patients for the treatment of resistant hypertension. Furthermore, our results suggest that we can estimate the effect of RDN in the long term at the 1-month follow-up point using the 24-h SBP.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES We first aimed to identify the histopathological changes occurring immediately after renal denervation (RDN) with radiofrequency energy, and then to assess the feasibility of determining procedural success using currently available clinical intravascular imaging techniques. BACKGROUND Catheter-based RDN has been used as an alternative therapy for hypertension. However, no practical endpoint to determine procedural success during treatment has been established. METHODS A total of 39 ablation lesions were induced in vivo in eight porcine renal arteries and a total of 15 ablation lesions were induced ex vivo in five excised porcine renal arteries with a radiofrequency delivery device. Acute histological changes and appearance on intravascular imaging of the lesions were investigated with light microscopy, transmission electron microscopy, intravascular ultrasound (IVUS), and optical frequency domain imaging (OFDI). RESULTS Marked changes were noted in media, adventitia, and perirenal-arterial nerves immediately after in vivo ablation. Changes visualized on IVUS were characterized by focal adventitial thickening comprising a relatively echogenic layer around a heterogeneously hypoechoic interior region, and on OFDI as disappearance of the external elastic membrane signals with high scattering of signals in the surface layer. The changes after ex vivo ablation were histopathologically identical to those from in vivo ablation. There were statistically significant positive correlations in measured dimensions (area, depth, width, and diameter) of ablation lesions between histopathology and IVUS/OFDI findings (Pearson correlation coefficients = 0.69-0.77). CONCLUSIONS These findings suggest that observation of treated renal arteries by IVUS or OFDI immediately after RDN improves the success rate of RDN.
