Treating Resistant Hypertension with Renal

Denervation Therapy at Marengo CIMS Hospital

Resistant hypertension—high blood pressure that remains uncontrolled despite the use of multiple medications—continues to be a serious health concern affecting millions worldwide. At Marengo CIMS Hospital, Ahmedabad, patients now have access to a groundbreaking treatment option: Renal Denervation (RDN) Therapy.

In a recent procedure, a team of leading interventional cardiologists—Dr. Keyur Parikh, Dr. Vipul Kapoor, and Dr. Tejas V Patel—successfully performed RDN using Medtronic’s advanced Symplicity Spyral™ Renal Denervation Catheter.

Step-by-Step Approach to RDN Therapy

Renal Denervation is a minimally invasive, catheter-based procedure designed to target overactive nerves in the renal arteries, which play a key role in regulating blood pressure. The process involves:

1. Accessing the Renal Arteries – A catheter is carefully guided into the renal arteries through a small incision.

2. Delivering Controlled Energy – Using the Symplicity Spyral™ catheter, controlled radiofrequency energy is applied to disrupt the overactive sympathetic nerves.

3. Restoring Blood Pressure Balance – By modulating these nerves, RDN helps reduce blood pressure in patients whose hypertension is resistant to medication.

Benefits of Renal Denervation Therapy

• Effective in lowering blood pressure in patients with resistant hypertension.

• Minimally invasive, with a short recovery time.

• Complements existing medical therapy for long-term control.

• Provides hope for patients struggling with uncontrolled hypertension despite lifestyle changes and multiple medications.

A New Era in Hypertension Management

This successful procedure highlights Marengo CIMS Hospital’s commitment to adopting innovative technologies and delivering advanced cardiovascular care. With the expertise of Dr. Parikh, Dr. Kapoor, and Dr. Patel, patients in India can now benefit from this globally recognized therapy.

For patients living with resistant hypertension, Renal Denervation offers a safe, effective, and life-changing solution.
