In 2009, Henry Krum and colleagues 1 Krum H Schlaich M Whitbourn R et al. Catheter-based renal sympathetic denervation for resistant hypertension: a multicentre safety and proof-of-principle cohort study. Lancet. 2009; 373: 1275-1281 Summary Full Text Full Text PDF PubMed Scopus (1745) Google Scholar published the initial report of the landmark Symplicity HTN-1 trial, which assessed the blood-pressure-lowering action of renal denervation (RDN) in patients with resistant hypertension (figure). It immediately created a ripple in the worldwide hypertension community and refocused attention on the kidney and its innervation as therapeutic targets for the treatment of chronically raised blood pressure. 1 Krum H Schlaich M Whitbourn R et al.
