RDN for Heart Failure

27. april 2026 opdateret af: Shanghai Golden Leaf MedTec Co. Ltd

Efficacy and Safety of Renal Denervation (RDN) for Heart Failure: A Single-Center, Prospective Cohort Study

This is a single-center, prospective, single-arm clinical trial to evaluate the efficacy and safety of renal denervation (RDN) using a multi-channel radiofrequency ablation system in patients with symptomatic heart failure, including both heart failure with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF) and heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF). The primary objective is to determine whether RDN can reduce serum N-terminal pro-brain natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP) levels from baseline to 6 months post-procedure, and improve functional exercise capacity as measured by the six-minute walk test (6MWT).

Approximately 20 eligible participants will undergo the RDN procedure while continuing their optimal guideline-directed medical therapy for heart failure. Assessments will be performed at baseline (pre-procedure), and at 30 days, 3 months, and 6 months post-procedure. Key evaluations include NT-proBNP measurement, echocardiography, 6MWT, New York Heart Association (NYHA) functional class assessment, and safety monitoring for adverse events.

The study aims to provide preliminary clinical evidence on the effects of multi-channel RDN on cardiac biomarkers, functional status, and safety in heart failure patients, and to explore its potential as an adjunctive therapy for this population.

Detaljeret beskrivelse

This is a single-center, prospective, single-arm cohort study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of renal denervation (RDN) using the multi-channel radiofrequency ablation system (Netrod®-RDN System) in patients with symptomatic heart failure (both HFrEF and HFpEF) despite optimal guideline-directed medical therapy.

The study aims to assess whether catheter-based renal sympathetic denervation can improve cardiac function, reduce heart failure biomarkers (NT-proBNP), increase exercise capacity (6MWT), and improve symptoms. Unlike drug trials using a placebo, this study uses a pre-procedure vs. post-procedure comparison design, with no sham/control group.

Technical details of the RDN procedure include: [The ablation catheter is inserted via the femoral artery and advanced to the renal artery. Ablation is performed at a temperature above 45°C for 120 seconds, starting with the branches followed by the main trunk. After ablation, monoclonal antibody therapy is recommended for 4 weeks].

Safety will be assessed through monitoring of major adverse events (MAE) within 30 days post-procedure, including vascular complications, renal artery injury, and cardiovascular events, as well as adverse events occurring during the 6-month follow-up period..

Eksperimentel: Renal Denervation for Heart Failure (RDN-HF)
Participants with symptomatic heart failure (NYHA Class II-III) despite optimized medical therapy undergo bilateral renal denervation using the multi-channel radiofrequency ablation system. The study enrolls two phenotypes: Group A and Group B (HFrEF&HFpEF, LVEF ≤40% or LVEF ≥50%). All participants receive standardized GDMT (SGLT2 inhibitors, beta-blockers, diuretics, ARNI) for ≥4 weeks prior to the procedure. Under DSA guidance, the Netrod® catheter delivers radiofrequency energy (60°C) to bilateral renal arteries including main vessels, branches, and accessory arteries (≥12 points per kidney). Follow-up occurs at 30 days, 3 months, and 6 months to assess NT-proBNP changes, 6-minute walk distance, and safety outcomes.
Enhed: Renal denervation

  1. Procedure: Bilateral renal denervation (RDN) using the multi-channel radiofrequency ablation system.

    Device Description: The intervention utilizes the Netrod® Multi-Channel Radiofrequency Renal Denervation System, consisting of: (1) a radiofrequency generator (Model 26D1G) with temperature and impedance monitoring capabilities, and (2) a single-use multi-electrode ablation catheter (Model 26C6W127F115T) featuring six spiral-arranged electrodes.

  2. Surgical Technique: The procedure is performed percutaneously via femoral artery access under digital subtraction angiography (DSA) guidance. The catheter is advanced to both renal arteries (bilateral treatment). Using the expandable mesh design, the six electrodes contact the arterial wall to deliver radiofrequency energy bilaterally to the main renal arteries, primary branches, and accessible accessory arteries.

Tidsramme
Change in NT-proBNP from Baseline to 6 Months
Tidsramme: Baseline (Day 0, pre-procedure) to 6 months post-procedure (±30 days window)
Absolute and relative change in serum N-terminal pro-brain natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP) levels from baseline (pre-procedure) to 6 months post-renal denervation (RDN) procedure. NT-proBNP is a biomarker of heart failure severity and myocardial wall stress, measured by centralized laboratory assay. The analysis will compare each participant's 6-month NT-proBNP value against their baseline value to determine the magnitude of reduction following RDN treatment.
Baseline (Day 0, pre-procedure) to 6 months post-procedure (±30 days window)
Change in Six-Minute Walk Test Distance from Baseline to 6 Months
Tidsramme: Baseline (Day 0, pre-procedure) to 6 months post-procedure (±30 days window)
Change in the distance walked (in meters) during the standardized six-minute walk test (6MWT) from baseline to 6 months post-procedure. The 6MWT is conducted according to American Thoracic Society (ATS) guidelines on a flat, hard surface, measuring the total distance walked in 6 minutes. This outcome assesses functional exercise capacity and cardiovascular fitness in heart failure patients. An increase in walking distance indicates improved functional status and exercise tolerance.
