DELIVERABILITY AND SAFETY OF A NOVEL NON-INVASIVE, ULTRASOUND-BASED RENAL NERVE ABLATION SYSTEM IN A LARGE PRECLINICAL MODEL VIA HISTOPATHOLOGICAL EVALUATION

Background: Although controversial, RDN has been proposed as an alternative therapy for resistant hypertensive patients. We aim to evaluate the acute and subchronic safety and deliverability of a novel extracorporeal, ultrasound-based RDN system in a large animal model. Methods: 7 swine were
