About the research
This study is a prospective and exploratory clinical study, enrolling patients with essential hypertension. This study is planned to be conducted in 2 research institutions in China, and a total of 6 subjects are planned to be included. After the subjects sign the informed consent form (ICF) approved by the ethics committee, they will enter the screening procedure. Subjects who meet the inclusion criteria and do not meet any of the clinical exclusion criteria will be enrolled after undergoing renal artery CTA angiography.
All patients will undergo clinical evaluation and blood pressure measurement during the operation, at the time of discharge, and at 1 month, 2 months, 3 months, and 6 months after the operation.
It is recommended that the anti-hypertensive medications used before the operation should not be changed within 6 months after the operation for the cases. When the systolic blood pressure (SBP) is ≥ 180 mmHg or there are clinical symptoms caused by hypertension, the drug dosage should be increased as a priority, and then the anti-hypertensive medications should be adjusted. When the systolic blood pressure (SBP) is ≤ 120 mmHg or there are clinical symptoms caused by a decrease in blood pressure, the anti-hypertensive medications should be reduced.
Who may be able to participate?
The list below is the sponsor’s full registry wording. It can include conditions, prior treatment, test results and other requirements. A match in search does not mean you qualify.
Inclusion Criteria:
Males or females aged 18 years old or above and 65 years old or below; Patients with essential hypertension; Patients who have been stably taking 2 or more antihypertensive drugs at conventional doses continuously for at least 4 weeks before enrollment, and whose blood pressure meets the following conditions: (1) The systolic blood pressure measured in the outpatient clinic is ≥150 mmHg and ≤180 mmHg, and the diastolic blood pressure measured in the outpatient clinic is ≥90 mmHg; (2) The systolic blood pressure measured by 24-hour ambulatory blood pressure monitoring (ABPM) is between 135 mmHg and 170 mmHg; The course of hypertension is more than 6 months; The diameter of the renal artery evaluated by renal artery CTA is ≥3 mm and the length is ≥20 mm; The patient or his/her legal representative signs a written informed consent form approved by the ethics committee before screening;
Exclusion Criteria:
Complicated with type 1 diabetes mellitus or uncontrolled type 2 diabetes mellitus (defined as plasma Hb1Ac ≥ 10.0%); Estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) \< 45 mL/min/1.73 m²; Previous implantation of an implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (ICD) or a pacemaker; History of myocardial infarction, syncope, intracerebral hemorrhage or cerebral infarction within 6 months before signing the informed consent form; Severe valvular heart stenosis; Any factors that may interfere with blood pressure measurement under any circumstances (for example, the patient has severe peripheral vascular disease, abdominal aortic aneurysm, hemorrhagic disorders such as thrombocytopenia, hemophilia, severe anemia); Patients with sleep apnea syndrome; Females who are pregnant or breastfeeding, or those who have a plan to conceive within the next year; Other serious organic diseases with an expected lifespan of less than 12 months; Participation in other clinical trials before screening and not yet completed;
Preoperative exclusion criteria based on CTA imaging:
a. Visual inspection shows that the diameter stenosis of the renal artery on either side \> 50% or there is a renal artery aneurysm on either side; b. Previous history of renal artery interventional treatment; Other situations that the investigator deems unsuitable for enrollment.

Exploratory Clinical Study of the Ultrasound Nerve Ablation System
Not reported in this registry record.
Procedure: Ultrasonic Nerve Ablation System
Ultrasonic Nerve Ablation System PROCEDURE
Treatment of patients with essential hypertension using the ultrasonic nerve ablation system
What researchers are measuring
Outcome measures describe what is being studied. They are not proof that a treatment works.
Primary measures
The change in the average daytime systolic blood pressure two months after the operation
Time frame: Two months after the operation
That is, the difference between the average daytime (from 7:00 to 22:00) systolic blood pressure measured before the operation and the average daytime systolic blood pressure measured during the follow-up visit two months after the operation
Major adverse events within 30 days after the operation
Time frame: Within 30 days after the operation
Major adverse events include: all-cause mortality, renal complications, renal artery embolism events, complications of interventional treatment, hypertensive/hypotensive crises during hospitalization, and major cardiovascular and cerebrovascular complications.
Secondary measures
The changes in the average systolic blood pressure of ambulatory blood pressure during the daytime, at night and over 24 hours after the operation
Time frame: 1 month, 3 months, 6 months after the operation
Changes in the average systolic blood pressure of ambulatory blood pressure during the daytime, at night and over 24 hours after the operation (1 month, 3 months, 6 months) That is, the difference between the average systolic blood pressure of ambulatory blood pressure measured during the daytime (7:00-22:00), at night (22:00-7:00) and over 24 hours before the operation and the average systolic blood pressure of ambulatory blood pressure measured during the daytime, at night and over 24 hours during the postoperative follow-up.
Changes in the average diastolic blood pressure of ambulatory blood pressure during the daytime, at night and over 24 hours after the operation
Time frame: 1 month, 2 months, 3 months, 6 months after the operation
That is, the difference between the average diastolic blood pressure of ambulatory blood pressure measured during the daytime (7:00-22:00), at night (22:00-7:00) and over 24 hours before the operation, and the average diastolic blood pressure of ambulatory blood pressure measured during the daytime, at night and over 24 hours during the postoperative follow-up
The attainment rate of systolic blood pressure reaching the standard in the outpatient clinic after the operation
Time frame: 1 month, 2 months, 3 months, 6 months after the operation
That is, the proportion of subjects whose systolic blood pressure measured in the outpatient clinic during the postoperative follow-up is less than 140 mmHg.
The change in systolic blood pressure measured in the outpatient clinic after the operation
Time frame: 1 month, 2 months, 3 months, 6 months after the operation
That is, the difference between the systolic blood pressure measured in the outpatient clinic before the operation and the systolic blood pressure measured in the outpatient clinic during the postoperative follow-up
The average number of types of medications taken after the operation
Time frame: 1 month, 2 months, 3 months, 6 months after the operation
The change in the average number of types of medications taken during the postoperative follow-up period, compared with the antihypertensive medications taken before the operation.
The incidence rate of complications of interventional treatment
Time frame: 1 month, 2 months, 3 months, 6 months after the operation
It refers to the intraoperative or postoperative related complications that occur after the research device has completed the renal artery ultrasound ablation surgery, such as renal artery perforation, renal artery dissection, acute infection, etc
