Overview

This single-arm, non-randomized, open-label investigation aims to collect safety and efficacy data of the CE-Marked Netrod™ RDN System in treating European patients with primary hypertension in the absence of anti-hypertensive medication.

This is a prospective, single-arm, non-randomized, open-label, multi-center study to collect safety and efficacy data of the CE-Marked Netrod™ RDN System in treating European patients with primary hypertension in the absence of anti-hypertensive medication. This clinical investigation aims to enroll 20 patients in Europe. Patients with uncontrolled primary hypertension (office BP ≥150/90 mmHg and \<180/110 mmHg) who are willing to discontinue antihypertensive medications will be screened after providing informed consent. All eligible patients will undergo a medication washout period of at least 21 days, and those who continue to meet the eligibility requirements will undergo the RDN procedure using the Netrod™ RDN System. Subjects will be evaluated at hospital discharge and at 1, 3, 6, and 12 months post-procedure. All subjects will remain off antihypertensive medications until the primary endpoint is assessed at the 3-month follow-up visit, after which antihypertensive medications may be reintroduced. The primary efficacy endpoint is the change in daytime ambulatory systolic blood pressure (ASBP) from baseline at three months post-procedure. The primary safety endpoint is the incidence of periprocedural major adverse event (MAE) rate through 30 days post index procedure.

Netrod™ six-electrode radiofrequency renal denervation systemDEVICE

Netrod™ renal denervation (RDN) system, which is indicated for the treatment of uncontrolled hypertension. It consists of the following two components: Netrod™ Six-Electrode Basket Radiofrequency Renal Denervation Catheter and Netrod™ Renal Denervation Radiofrequency Generator. The catheter's electrodes deploy into a self adaptive basket structure, optimizing contact with the vessel wall for effective ablation.

Outcomes

Primary Outcomes

Incidence of periprocedure major adverse event (MAE)

Incidence of periprocedure major adverse event (MAE), defined as a composite of the following events through 30 days post index procedure (except for new renal artery stenosis): * All-cause mortality * End-stage renal disease (ESRD) defined as stage 5 Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) (Estimated Glomerular Filtration Rate (eGFR) \< 15 mL/min/l.73m²) or hemodialysis * Significant embolic event resulting in end-organ damage * Renal artery perforation or dissection requiring intervention * Major vascular complications requiring medical or surgical intervention * Hospitalization for hypertensive crisis (unless clearly demonstrated to be associated with non-adherence with antihypertensive medications in the subjects on escape medication) * New renal artery stenosis \> 70% (must be confirmed by angiography)
