Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The REDUCE HTN: REINFORCE study is being conducted to determine whether the Vessix Reduce™ Catheter and Vessix™ Generator for the treatment of uncontrolled hypertension (off-treatment office systolic blood pressure ≥150 mmHg and ≤180 mmHg) shows acceptable performance at 8 weeks when compared to a masked procedure (renal angiogram).

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Prospective, multicenter, single blinded, randomized, controlled, pilot study. Subjects will be randomized to renal denervation treatment or masked renal angiogram procedure (2:1).
