  Aims: Renal denervation using the point-by-point application of radiofrequency (RF) energy delivered by the firstgeneration Symplicity system is effective in lowering office blood pressure however it is time-consuming. The Vessix Renal Denervation System with eight balloon-mounted bipolar electrodes shortens and simplifies the procedure. This has been the first in-human case examining the efficiency of reducing blood pressure and also the effect of RF energy in case of renal denervation on the normal functioning of pacemaker and the tolerability of the procedure in case of a patient living with pacemaker. Materials and methods: The diabetic patient with a coronary artery disease had a baseline office systolic blood pressure ≥ 150 mmHg and took four antihypertensive medications. She had a Biotronik Talos S pacemaker with a unipolar Biotron.. Read More»
