Abstract
- Objective:Hypertension is the leading attributable cause of cardiovascular mortality worldwide. Patients with hypertension have multiple comorbidities including high rates of concomitant renal disease. Current pharmacological approaches are inadequate in the treatment of resistant hypertension. Renal sympathetic denervation (RDN) has been shown to effectively treat resistant hypertension. The traditional use of iodinated contrast in RDN is contraindicated in patients with significant renal insufficiency. In patients with renal impairment, carbon dioxide (CO2) can be used as an alternative contrast material for RDN. This article describes the technical aspects of RDN using CO2 angiography.Methods:Our centre is experienced in the innovative RDN procedure using CO2 angiography. We describe the protocol for CO2 angiography for RDN using a home-made CO2 delivery system and the Symplicity™ (Minneapolis MN 55432 USA) catheter (Medtronic) device.Results:CO2 angiography is an excellent alternative to iodinated con...
