Popis: We report the first experience of Lyon's university hospital regarding renal denervation to treat patients with resistant essential hypertension.Over a one-year period, 17 patients were treated (12 men, 5 women) with renal denervation. Baseline characteristics were as follows: age 56.5±11.5 years, BMI 33±5kg/m(2) and ambulatory blood pressure 157±16/87±13mmHg with 4.2±1.5 anti-hypertensive treatment.We did not observe intra-operative or early complications. After a median follow-up of 3 months and with the same anti-hypertensive treatment, office systolic blood pressure (SBP) and diastolic blood pressure (DBP) decrease respectively of 20±15 (P0.001) and 10±13mmHg (P=0.014) (n=17). After six months of follow-up, ambulatory blood pressure (ABPM) decrease of 17.5±14.9mmHg (P=0.027) for SBP and of 10.5±9.6mmHg (P=0.029) for DBP (n=6). Among these patients, five of them were controlled (ABPM inferior to 130/80mmHg) and electrical left ventricular hypertrophy indexes decreased: R wave in aVL lead of 4±3mm (P=0.031), Sokolow index of 3±3mm (P=0.205), Cornell voltage criterion of 9±7mm (P=0.027) and Cornell product of 1310±1104 (P=0.027).Our results are in accordance with data from other centers. On average blood pressure decreases significantly but important inter individual variations are observed. The procedure seems safe.
