State of the art Renal Artery Denervation treatment using Medtronic Spyral Catheter

Use of Medtronic Simplicity Spyral multi-electrode Catheter to perform percutaneous renal artery nerve denervation.

Overview

Dr Davies and Dr Sen perform a live case demonstration from the Hammersmith Hospital London.  Using the Medtronic Symplicity Spyral Multi-Electrode catheter system, they perform renal artery denervation in a patient with sympathetic overacitivation.  They demonstrate how to perform a safe and effective renal deneravation procedure using the latest branch and trunk denervation procedure.   

Learning Objectives

The Symplicity Spyral catheter has 4 gold electrodes which allow simultaneous delivery of radio frequency energy at a depth of 2-6mm.  The automated algorithms in the generator box continually monitior temperature and impendence at each electrode to allow simultaneous radio frequency ablation at 4 sites. 

• Learn how to perform renal denervation using the Symplicity Spyral catheter
