IntErnational Long-term Follow-up Study of Patients With Uncontrolled HyperTensioN

IntErnational Non-randomized, Single-arm, Long-term Follow-up Study of Patients With Uncontrolled HyperTensioN

The purpose of this post market clinical investigation is to further evaluate the safety and performance of the EnligHTN™ Renal Denervation System in the treatment of patients with uncontrolled hypertension.

This is a post market, prospective, multicenter, non-randomized, single arm study of the EnligHTN™ Renal Denervation System. Approximately 500 subjects with uncontrolled hypertension will undergo renal artery ablation at approximately 40 investigational sites located internationally and will be followed up to five years post procedure.

• Subject is ≥ 18 years of age at time of consent
• Subject must be able and willing to provide written informed consent
• Subject must be able and willing to comply with the required follow-up schedule
• Subject has office Systolic Blood Pressure ≥ 140 mmHg at confirmatory visit
• Subject has a daytime mean Systolic Ambulatory Blood Pressure > 135 mmHg within 90 days prior to procedure
• Subject has established hypertension (diagnosed ≥12 month prior to baseline) and is on a guideline based drug regimen at a stable and fully tolerated dose consisting of ≥ 3 anti-hypertensive medications (including 1 diuretic) or subject has a documented drug intolerance to 2 or more of the 4 major classes of anti-hypertensives (ACE/ARB, Calcium Channel Blockers, Beta Blockers, or diuretic) and is unable to take 3 anti-hypertensive drugs.

Exclusion Criteria:

• Subject has significant renovascular abnormalities such as renal artery stenosis > 30%
• Subject has undergone prior renal angioplasty, renal denervation, indwelling renal stents, and/or abdominal aortic stent grafts
• Subject has hemodynamically significant valvular heart disease as determined by study investigator
• Subject has a life expectancy less than 12 months, as determined by the Investigator

• Subject has active systemic infection
• Subject has renal arteries with diameter(s) < 4 mm in diameter
• Subject has an estimated GFR <15 mL/min per 1.73 m^2 using the MDRD formula
