    Abstract:
    The efficacy of renal denervation (RDN) has been controversial, but recent randomized sham-controlled trials demonstrated significant blood pressure reductions after RDN in patients with hypertension. We conducted a systematic review and updated meta-analysis to evaluate the effects of RDN on ambulatory and office blood pressures in patients with hypertension. Databases were searched up to 15 November 2023 to identify randomized, sham-controlled trials of RDN. The primary endpoint was change in 24 h ambulatory systolic blood pressure (SBP) with RDN versus sham control. The secondary endpoints were changes in 24 h ambulatory diastolic blood pressure, daytime and nighttime blood pressure (BP), office BP, and home BP. A sub-analysis determined outcomes by medication, procedure, and device. From twelve trials, 2222 patients with hypertension were randomized to undergo RDN (n = 1295) or a sham procedure (n = 927). At 2-6 months after treatment, RDN significantly reduced 24 h ambulatory SBP by 2.81 mmHg (95% confidence interval: -4.09, -1.53; p < 0.001) compared with the sham procedure. RDN also reduced daytime SBP by 3.17 mmHg (- 4.75, - 1.58; p < 0.001), nighttime SBP by 3.41 mmHg (- 4.69, - 2.13; p < 0.001), office SBP by 4.95 mmHg (- 6.37, - 3.54; p < 0.001), and home SBP by 4.64 mmHg (- 7.44, - 1.84; p = 0.001) versus the sham control group. There were no significant differences in the magnitude of BP reduction between first- and second-generation trials, between devices, or between with or without medication. These data from randomized sham-controlled trials showed that RDN significantly reduced all blood pressure metrics in medicated or unmedicated patients with hypertension, including resistant/uncontrolled hypertension.
