Are you struggling to control your blood pressure?
See if the RADAR Clinical Trial is right for you.
Millions of people struggle to keep their blood pressure under control, even when taking daily medications. If left untreated, high blood pressure can lead to serious health problems such as stroke, heart attack, kidney disease, and vision loss.1 If you’re struggling to control your blood pressure you may be interested in the RADAR Clinical Trial, now enrolling at select centers.
Renal denervation is performed though a standard, catheter-based approach, and is designed to calm overactive kidney nerves to help control blood pressure
About the RADAR Clinical Trial
The RADAR Clinical Trial is evaluating an investigational procedure which may lower your blood pressure and reduce your need for blood pressure medications. The procedure is a minimally invasive intervention that has been shown in previous studies to reduce blood pressure by calming nerves surrounding the renal (kidney) arteries.2,3,4
People with high blood pressure typically have overactive kidney nerves, and it has been shown that calming these overactive nerves can help reduce blood pressure. The RADAR Clinical Trial is an investigational study of a one-time procedure designed to disrupt the overactive nerves.
The procedure is performed through a single, small incision in the groin. A thin, flexible catheter is then guided to the artery supplying the kidney. Once positioned, the study device delivers a small amount of dehydrated alcohol to the region just outside the artery – to calm these over-active nerves. After the arteries to both kidneys are treated, the study device is removed, and the incision is closed.
Why Participate?
The single treatment with the investigational procedure may lower your blood pressure and may reduce your need for blood pressure medications. In addition, participants in the RADAR Clinical Trial may benefit from frequent careful monitoring of their blood pressure condition from a team of specialists.
If you qualify and choose to join the study, you will receive all study-related care at no cost. This includes the pre-procedural assessment, the treatment, as well as any assessments during the follow-up visits to your study doctor’s office. You may also receive reasonable reimbursement for your travel to attend these study visits.
Before you decide to participate, your local study center will review with you all potential benefits and risks, so that you can make an informed decision if the RADAR Trial is right for you.
See If You Qualify
The RADAR Clinical Trial is enrolling people ages 18 to 80 years who are struggling to control their blood pressure.
