Summary

This trial showed that combining RDN and PVI can reduce recurrent AF in uncontrolled hypertensives. RDN plus PVI might improve long-term AF control for persistent AF patients.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for adults over 18 with symptomatic persistent atrial fibrillation, which lasts more than 7 days but less than a year. Participants can either have no history of hypertension or controlled hypertension. They must be eligible for PVI, have renal arteries suitable for denervation, and agree to heart monitoring and follow-up requirements.
What is being tested?
The study is testing if adding renal artery denervation (RDN) to the standard catheter ablation treatment called pulmonary vein isolation (PVI) improves outcomes in patients with persistent atrial fibrillation. It's a randomized pilot trial where some participants will receive both treatments while others only PVI.
What are the potential side effects?
Potential side effects may include complications from catheter ablation like bleeding or infection at the site of insertion, damage to blood vessels or heart tissue, adverse reactions to anesthesia, and kidney-related issues due to RDN.
