The study is the multicenter pilot study to obtain an assessment of the safety of renal denervation in the patients with uncontrolled hypertension on standard medical therapy in Korea.
DENEX system developed by Handok Kalos Medical Inc. is a renal nerve blocking system to efficiently block the sympathetic nerve of the kidney with minimal invasive procedure. It was developed to block the sympathetic nerves distributed in blood vessel wall by delivering high frequency energy to the renal artery for the purpose of treating hypertension.
