cHild -in-mothEr Approach for DeliverING Renal Denervation System: The HEADING-IN Technique

Orazio Viola et al. Catheter Cardiovasc Interv. 2025 Mar.

Abstract

Renal denervation is an emerging strategy for the management of uncontrolled hypertension. However, real-world experience is still modest, in particular for the management of complex anatomy, with available data being limited to the selected population of randomized clinical trials. We first describe the feasibility of delivering the renal denervation system to the target site with a child-in-mother technique, using a common coronary guiding extension, in a patient with severe tortuosity and double renal arteries.

Keywords: ABC—ablation; HTN—hypertension; RADI—renal artery disease; catheter/cryoblation/RF; intervention.
