25 Critical Assessment 1. Internal validity: No ABPM to define resistant hypertension No work-up to exclude secondary hypertension Open label No marker/index of primary success No assessment of adherence to AHT during the trial No standardized AHT, therefore scoring of treatement is difficult No masked assessment of the primary endpoint which was office BP 2. Possibility of biases Expectation bias by patients and doctors Attrition bias (cointerventions, change in behavior ) Evaluation bias (office BP vs. ABPM)
26 Critical Assessment (II) 3. Results Timing for measuring BP is not reported Much larger office BP lowering effect than on ABPM No decrease in office BP in the control group whereas ABP decreased Uncontrolled changes in medical therapy during the trial in both groups 10% of patients do not respond to RD Safety cannot be assessed with certainty with 50 patients. A complication rate <5% would have been missed by the trial. Mid-term safety (2 years) is only known for a few number of patients 4.

34 Conclusions Catheter-based renal denervation in patients with treatmentresistant essential hypertension, resulted in significant reductions in office BP, much less marked when using ABPM. The technique was applied without major complications in the short term. The technique needs still to be evaluated to : assess its efficacy against the best optimal care using predefined and validated algorhythm of antihypertensive treatments Find out a method indicating the primary success of the denervation assess its long term safety Symplicity HTN-2 Investigators.
