Renal Denervation vs. Medical Treatment in Resistant Hypertension Study
The Prague-15 trial presented at the 26th European Meeting on Hypertension in Paris compared renal denervation with intensified medical treatment in true resistant hypertension patients. The study revealed that spironolactone added to medical therapy was more effective in reducing blood pressure over a 12-month period. The trial, conducted in Prague, concluded that renal denervation was not superior to intensified medical therapy for these patients.

26th European Meeting on Hypertension and Cardiovascular Protection Paris (France), June 10-13, 2016 Overview Renal denervation was not superior to intensified medical treatment in patients with validated true resistant hypertension, in the 12-month results from the PRAGUE-15 trial Spironolactone, if tolerated and maintained, added to medical treatment was more effective in reducing blood pressure PRAGUE-15 was a prospective, open, randomized, trial conducted at 3 centers in Prague to evaluate renal denervation with Symplicity catheters against intensified antihypertensive therapy including spironolactone 25 mg on 24-hour blood pressure Crossover at 1 year was allowed Powered by Infomedica 26th European Meeting on Hypertension and Cardiovascular Protection
26th European Meeting on Hypertension and Cardiovascular Protection Paris (France), June 10-13, 2016 Overview PRAGUE-15 terminated early, due to the Symplicity HTN-3 results 106 patients were randomized in PRAGUE-15, with 12-month follow-up data in 101 patients The intention-to-treat (ITT) analysis of all randomized patients and the per-protocol (PP) analysis in a subgroup of patients with complete renal denervation, defined as 4 ablations, or had spironolactone added and maintained presented Powered by Infomedica 26th European Meeting on Hypertension and Cardiovascular Protection
