Study Stopped
This study was stopped after the publication of the Symplicity HTN-3 trial even before patient inclusion. The protocol (including the renal denervation device) were revised and a new trial conducted ( NCT04947670).

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcomes (1)
Safety of renal denervation with the Symplicity Catheter System with special consideration of clinically significant periprocedural adverse events in CHF patients
Number of complications associated with the delivery and/or use of the Symplicity Catheter (e.g., vascular injury and bleeding complications, access site hematoma, etc.). Vital signs, blood and urine measurements taken before, during and after the denervation procedure
Baseline visit for treatment group, month 6 visit for control group
Secondary Outcomes (4)
Physiologic response to renal denervation: ventricular function
From denervation prodecure to 6 months after renal denervation procedure
Physiologic Response to renal denervation: renal function
From denervation prodecure to 6 months after renal denervation procedure
Physiologic Response to renal denervation: symptomatology/Quality of Life
From denervation prodecure to 6 months after renal denervation procedure
Physiologic Response to renal denervation: additional parameters
From denervation prodecure to 6 months after renal denervation procedure
Study Arms (2)
Treatment Group
EXPERIMENTALRenal denervation and maintenance of heart failure medications
Control Group
NO INTERVENTIONMaintenance of heart failure medications with option for cross-over renal denervation treatment after 6-months
Interventions
Delivery of radiofrequency through the wall of the renal artery to disrupt the surrounding renal nerves under angiography control
Eligibility Criteria
You may qualify if:
- New York Heart Association Class II-III symptoms of chronic heart failure
- Systolic left ventricular dysfunction as assessed by echocardiogram with left ventricular ejection fraction in a range of 10%- 40%.
- GFR \>30 mL/min/1.73m2
- Brain natriuretic Peptide (BNP) \>100 pg/ml or N terminal (NT)-Pro-BNP \>400 pg/ml.
- Optimal medical therapy according to current guidelines for CHF management. Treatment for HF must be stable (including drug and dose) for at least 4 weeks prior to procedure, with the exception of diuretics, where stability is required for at least 2 weeks.
- others
You may not qualify if:
- Renal arterial anatomy that is ineligible for treatment
- CHF caused by pericarditis or by acute myocarditis or by endocrine diseases.
- Myocardial infarction, unstable angina pectoris, or a cerebrovascular accident within three 12 weeks of the screening visit.
- Office systolic BP at screening less than 90 mmHg
- Primary pulmonary hypertension.
- Clinically significant cardiac structural valvular disease, unless corrected by a properly functional prosthetic valve
- Major surgery, including bariatric surgery, in the previous 12 weeks before baseline.
- Contrast media administration in the previous 30 days before baseline.
- Known hypersensitivity to material of the Symplicity Catheter.
- Inpatient hospitalization for decompensated HF in the previous 60 days before baseline.
- others
