- Percentage of successful interventions [ Time Frame: Up to 24 hours ]
A successful intervention is defined by the ability to successfully:
- Introduce the PRDS catheter
- Position the PRDS catheter
- Deliver ultrasound energy
- Retrieve the PRDS catheter
- Percentage of patients with device- or procedure-related adverse events [ Time Frame: 12 months ]
Anticipated adverse events include:
- Puncture site-related events
- Renal artery stenosis, aneurysm, dissection, or perforation
- Renal infarction, acute kidney injury, or renal failure
- Arterial and venous thromboembolic events (including myocardial infarction, stroke, aortic or peripheral artery disease, etc.)
- Change from baseline in ambulatory blood pressure [ Time Frame: 12 months ]
- Change from baseline in anti-hypertensive medication intake [ Time Frame: 12 months ]
