Chronic hypertension invasive therapy

Editor-In-Chief: C. Michael Gibson, M.S., M.D. [1]; Robert G. Badgett, M.D.[2]

Renal artery vascular procedures

Renal artery bypassing and stenting of atherosclerotic disease have been proposed, studied, and eventual found to be not beneficial except in unusual circumstances.[1]

Renal artery denervation

Renal denervation for resistant hypertension also has been found not to be beneficial.[2]

Central arteriovenous anastomosis

More recently central arteriovenous anastomosis has been studied and shows benefit in one trial.[3]
