“Hypertension is a worldwide medical and economic burden. Renal sympathetic denervation is a unique therapy that has demonstrated benefit in patients that are not well treated with medical therapy alone." Dr. Gary M. Ansel, MD, FACC
Menlo Park, CA (PRWEB) December 05, 2013
Symple Surgical is developing a therapeutic microwave energy device for renal sympathetic denervation, to effectively modulate hyperactive sympathetic nerve signals.
- Renal sympathetic denervation is a novel therapy that addresses severe hypertension and other chronic diseases.
- The sympathetic nerves located along the renal artery wall play a critical role in controlling blood pressure. When overactive these nerves contribute to Cardiovascular Hypertension.
- Renal sympathetic denervation has been demonstrated to reduce blood pressure in patients who are not adequately treated by pharmacological and other medical therapies .
“Symple Surgical is committed to developing a unique device which is safe and effective for treating patients with resistant Hypertension, easy to use for the physician, and provides targeted therapy without damaging healthy tissue,” stated Randy Preston, Chief Operating Officer at Symple Surgical. “Initial pre-clinical testing has validated our core concepts and we will continue to refine our technology as we work towards a First-in-Man study by mid-2014.”
