Blood pressure changes after renal denervation at 10 European expert centers.

ABSTRACT: We did a subject-level meta-analysis of the changes (?) in blood pressure (BP) observed 3 and 6 months after renal denervation (RDN) at 10 European centers. Recruited patients (n=109; 46.8% women; mean age 58.2 years) had essential hypertension confirmed by ambulatory BP. From baseline to 6 months, treatment score declined slightly from 4.7 to 4.4 drugs per day. Systolic/diastolic BP fell by 17.6/7.1?mm?Hg for office BP, and by 5.9/3.5, 6.2/3.4, and 4.4/2.5?mm?Hg for 24-h, daytime and nighttime BP (P?0.03 for all). In 47 patients with 3- and 6-month ambulatory measurements, systolic BP did not change between these two time points (P?0.08). Normalization was a systolic BP of <140?mm?Hg on office measurement or <130?mm?Hg on 24-h monitoring and improvement was a fall of ?10?mm?Hg, irrespective of measurement technique. For office BP, at 6 months, normalization, improvement or no decrease occurred in 22.9, 59.6 and 22.9% of patients, respectively; for 24-h BP, these proportions were 14.7, 31.2 and 34.9%, respectively. Higher baseline BP predicted greater BP fall at follow-up; higher baseline serum creatinine was associated with lower probability of improvement of 24-h BP (odds ratio for 20-?mol?l(-1) increase, 0.60; P=0.05) and higher probability of experiencing no BP decrease (OR, 1.66; P=0.01). In conclusion, BP responses to RDN include regression-to-the-mean and remain to be consolidated in randomized trials based on ambulatory BP monitoring. For now, RDN should remain the last resort in patients in whom all other ways to control BP failed, and it must be cautiously used in patients with renal impairment.

We did a subject-level meta-analysis of the changes (Δ) in blood pressure (BP) observed 3 and 6 months after renal denervation (RDN) at 10 European centers.

Project description:BackgroundRenal denervation (RDN) has emerged as an adjacent option for the treatment of hypertension. This analysis of the Erlanger registry aimed to compare the blood pressure (BP)-lowering effects and safety of RDN in patients with and without chronic kidney disease (CKD).MethodsIn this single-center retrospective analysis, 47 patients with and 127 without CKD underwent radiofrequency-, ultrasound- or alcohol-infusion-based RDN. Office and 24-h ambulatory BP and estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) were measured at baseline, and after 6 and 12 months.ResultsA total of 174 patients with a mean age of 59.0 ± 10 years were followed up for 12 months. At baseline, mean eGFR was 55.8 ± 21 mL/min/1.73 m2 in patients with CKD and 87.3 ± 13 mL/min/1.73 m2 in patients without CKD. There was no significant eGFR decline in either of the groups during 12 months of follow-up. In patients without CKD, office systolic and diastolic BP were reduced by -15.3 ± 17.5/-7.9 ± 10.8 mmHg 6 months after RDN and by -16.1 ± 18.2/-7.7 ± 9.6 mmHg 12 months after RDN. In patients with CKD, office systolic and diastolic BP were reduced by -10.7 ± 24.0/-5.8 ± 13.2 mmHg 6 months after RDN and by -15.1 ± 24.9/-5.9 ± 12.9 mmHg 12 months after RDN. Accordingly, in patients without CKD, 24-h ambulatory systolic and diastolic BP were reduced by -7.2 ± 15.8/-4.9 ± 8.8 mmHg 6 months after RDN and by -9.0 ± 17.0/-6.2 ± 9.8 mmHg 12 months after RDN. In patients with CKD, 24-h systolic and diastolic BP were reduced by -7.4 ± 12.9/-4.2 ± 9.9 mmHg 6 months after RDN and by -8.0 ± 14.0/-3.6 ± 9.6 mmHg 12 months after RDN. There was no difference in the reduction of office and 24-h ambulatory BP between the two groups at any time point (all P > .2). Similar results have been found for the 6 months data. With exception of rare local adverse events, we did not observe any safety signals.ConclusionAccording to our single-center experience, we observed a similar reduction in 24-h, day and night-time ambulatory BP as well as in-office BP in patients with and without CKD at any time point up to 12 months. We conclude that RDN is an effective and safe treatment option for patients with hypertension and CKD.
