SYMPLICITY HTN-3 Trial. Evolution at 3 Years

The SYMPLICITY 3-year outcomes are out. Bear in mind this is the largest study we have had so far. 

TCT 2022

It included 535 patients. 364 received renal denervation (RDN) and 171 went to the control group. 

At 36-month followup, 101 patients crossed over. 

The procedure was safe at 36 months, both for patients receiving it at randomization and for those who crossed over. 

At 36 months we saw a significant reduction of systolic and diastolic BP in patients receiving RDN (-26.4 mmHg vs. -5.7 mmHg p<0.0001 and 12.2 mmHg vs 2 mmHg p<0.001 respectively). In addition, even though the number of drugs saw no change, there was a reduction in the number of pills a day. 

24-hour ambulatory BP also saw a significant reduction in systolic and diastolic BP in patients receiving RDN (15.6 mmHg vs. 0.32 mmHg and -9.9 mmHg vs 0.5 mmHg p<0.0001 respectively).

The authors have concluded this is a safe procedure and the benefits of reducing systolic and diastolic BP will last 3 years.
