Experimental: Renal Denervation
Renal angiography and Renal Denervation (Symplicity Spyral™ multi-electrode renal denervation system)
|
Device: Symplicity Spyral™ multi-electrode renal denervation system
After a renal angiography according to standard procedures, subjects remain blinded and are immediately treated with the renal denervation procedure after randomization.

Procedure: Sham Procedure
After a renal angiography according to standard procedures, subjects remain blinded and remain on the catheterization lab table for at least 20 minutes prior to introducer sheath removal.
