OBJECTIVES: This study sought to determine the vascular anatomical eligibility for catheter-based renal artery denervation (RDN) in hypertensive patients.
BACKGROUND: Arterial hypertension is the leading cardiovascular risk factor for stroke and mortality globally. Despite substantial advances in drug-based treatment, many patients do not achieve target blood pressure levels. To improve the number of controlled patients, novel procedure- and device-based strategies have been developed. RDN is among the most promising novel techniques. However, there are few data on the vascular anatomical eligibility.
METHODS: We retrospectively analyzed 941 consecutive hypertensive patients undergoing coronary angiography and selective renal artery angiography between January 1, 2010, and May 31, 2012. Additional renal arteries were divided into 2 groups: hilar (accessory) and polar (aberrant) arteries. Anatomical eligibility for RDN was defined according to the current guidelines: absence of renal artery stenosis, renal artery diameter ≥4 mm, renal artery length ≥20 mm, and only 1 principal renal artery.
RESULTS: A total of 934 hypertensive patients were evaluable. The prevalence of renal artery stenosis was 10% (n = 90). Of the remaining 844 patients without renal artery stenosis, 727 (86%) had nonresistant hypertension and 117 (14%) had resistant hypertension; 62 (53%) of the resistant hypertensive and 381 (52%) of the nonresistant hypertensive patients were anatomically eligible for sympathetic RDN.
CONCLUSIONS: The vascular anatomical eligibility criteria of the current guidelines are a major limiting factor for the utilization of RDN as a therapeutic option. Development of new devices and/or techniques may significantly increase the number of candidates for these promising therapeutic options.
