The objective of this study is to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of renal denervation using DENEX System in patients with hypertension without antihypertensive medication, compared with the sham group.
DENEX system developed by Kalos Medical Inc. is a renal denervation 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.
