---|---|
Experimental: Rapid Renal Denervation |
Device: Covidien OneShot™ System
Placed percutaneously, the OneShot™ balloon catheter is advanced into the renal artery using a routine femoral approach in a cardiac catheterization laboratory setting. RF is applied with pre-programmed time and intensity in each of the renal arteries.

- Acute Procedural Safety [ Time Frame: One Week ]
Acute Procedural Safety, defined as the overall rate of Serious Adverse Events (SAE's) and adverse device effects at discharge:
- SAE's related to groin and vascular access complications, and
- SAE's related to renal artery injury.
- Chronic Procedural Safety [ Time Frame: 6 months ]Chronic Procedural Safety, defined as the overall rate of Serious Adverse Events and Adverse Device Effects at 6 months
- Renal Denervation Procedure Effectiveness [ Time Frame: From baseline to 6 months ]Procedural Effectiveness, defined as rate of Office Systolic Blood Pressure (SBP) reduction > 10 mmHg at 6 months compared to baseline
