How Renal Denervation (RDN) is performed
A catheter is inserted through a peripheral vascular access to the renal artery, aiming to reduce renal sympathetic nerve activity. A common practice is to perform multi-point or circular ablation around the renal artery with radiofrequency or ultrasound energy under image guidance; if applicable, angiography and pressure assessment can be used for positioning. Postoperatively, blood pressure, puncture site, and renal function are usually monitored, and medication adjustments are followed up to assist in long-term blood pressure control. The above is general health information, not medical advice; the specifics are subject to specialist assessment and hospital protocols.
