title: [Endovascular renal nerve ablation as a treatment for resistant hypertension].
abstract: Radiofrequency-induced renal ablation is a non-pharmacologic therapeutic approach for the treatment of essential resistant hypertension, with a stable blood pressure lowering effect. However, data from published studies cannot conclude yet on the long-term efficacy and safety of the procedure. Therefore, the various techniques of renal nerve ablation (radiofrequency, cryoablation, ultrasounds) need further evaluation in clinical research trials. According to recent national and international recommendations, renal ablation should be reserved for patients with essential resistant hypertension.
