Long-Term Blood Pressure Reductions Following Catheter-Based Renal Denervation: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis.
Hypertension 2024 March 21
BACKGROUND: Renal denervation is a recognized adjunct therapy for hypertension with clinically significant blood pressure (BP)-lowering effects. Long-term follow-up data are critical to ascertain durability of the effect and safety. Aside from the 36-month follow-up data available from randomized control trials, recent cohort analyses extended follow-up out to 10 years. We sought to analyze study-level data and quantify the ambulatory BP reduction of renal denervation across contemporary randomized sham-controlled trials and available long-term follow-up data up to 10 years from observational studies.
METHODS: A systematic review was performed with data from 4 observational studies with follow-up out to 10 years and 2 randomized controlled trials meeting search and inclusion criteria with follow-up data out to 36 months. Study-level data were extracted and compared statistically.
RESULTS: In 2 contemporary randomized controlled trials with 36-month follow-up, an average sham-adjusted ambulatory systolic BP reduction of -12.7±4.5 mm Hg from baseline was observed ( P =0.05). Likewise, a -14.8±3.4 mm Hg ambulatory systolic BP reduction was found across observational studies with a mean long-term follow-up of 7.7±2.8 years (range, 3.5-9.4 years; P =0.0051). The observed reduction in eGFR across the long-term follow-up was in line with the predicted age-related decline. Antihypertensive drug burden was similar at baseline and follow-up.
CONCLUSIONS: Renal denervation is associated with a significant and clinically meaningful reduction in ambulatory systolic BP in both contemporary randomized sham-controlled trials up to 36 months and observational cohort studies up to 10 years without adverse consequences on renal function.
