title: The future for renal denervation depends on embracing the lessons learned from our previous studies.
abstract: The knowledge base for the continued development of catheter-based renal denervation is robust. A critical determinant of renal denervation success is the delivery of sufficient radiofrequency energy to both proximal and distal renal nerves, including in the renal artery divisions. New multielectrode catheters circumvent the several drawbacks of early models.
