Abstract

The prevalence of refractory arterial hypertension in Russia is estimated at 15%. We report the first experience with surgical treatment of this pathology. The method is based on the reduction of activity of the sympathetic nervous system by selective breaking of connections between of neurons with the help of interventional intravascular radiowave ablation. Renal endovascular sympathetic denervation allows to more effectively control AP and optimize antihypertensive therapy but does not ensure recovery from AH.
