Outcome Measures
Primary Outcomes (2)
Incidence of serious device- and procedure-related complications at 30 days post procedure.
This composite endpoint is defined as: * death * flow-limiting dissection at one or more of the treated arteries requiring intervention. * Type III perforation of the treated artery requiring intervention. * bleeding requiring transfusion. * severe or occlusive thrombosis of the treated artery beds * clinically significant distal embolization of the treated artery beds * clinically significant damage to kidneys and/or liver
30 Days
Device success
The device success, defined as successful introduction of the catheter, navigation to the treatment site, and infusion of the chemical to the perivascular without device malfunction that requiring aborting the procedure.
During the procedure
Secondary Outcomes (2)
Glycemic Control:
1 month, 3 months, 6 months, 12 months, and 24 months. Optional 3, 4 and 5 years to understand the long-term effects of the treatment.
Hypertension Control:
1 month, 3 months, 6 months, 12 months, and 24 months. Optional 3, 4 and 5 years
Study Arms (1)

Eligibility Criteria
You may qualify if:
- Subjects must meet all of the following criteria to be eligible for participation in the study:
- Age ≥ 21 and ≤ 65 years at time of enrollment.
- Disease diagnosed
- Diagnosed with T2DM with baseline:
- Fasting plasma glucose ≥ 140 mg/dl (7.8 mmol/l) and ≤ 270 mg/dL (15 mmol/L)
- HbA1c levels ≥ 7.0% and ≤ 9.0% (53-75 mmol/mol)
- Triglyceride level \< 400 mg/dL (4.52 mmol/L)
- On oral anti-hyperglycemic drug regimen of metformin. Subjects may be on additional oral anti-hyperglycemic drug of a different drug class
- Years of T2DM ≤ 10 years
- And / Or
- Diagnosed hypertension with baseline:
- Office blood pressure of SBP of ≥ 140 mmHg and ≤ 180 mmHg and DBP ≥ 90 mmHg
- Mean 24-hour ambulatory SBP of ≥ 130 mmHg and ≤ 170 mmHg with ≥ 75% valid readings
- On stable oral anti-hypertension drug regimen consisting of up to a maximum of three drugs
- BMI between 27.5 and 40 kg/m2
- +4 more criteria
You may not qualify if:
- T1DM or poorly controlled T2DM (defined as HbA1c \> 9.0% or use insulin as medication to control glucose level).
- Office diastolic blood pressure \< 90 mmHg.
- Current use of \> 3 hypertension medications.
- Currently on beta blockers.
- One or more documented hyperglycemia episodes requiring hospitalization in the 180-day prior to screening date.
- Prior evidence of hypoglycemia unawareness or serious hypoglycemia with loss of consciousness or confusion sufficient to prevent self-treatment in last 6 months.
- BMI \> 40 kg/m2.
- Diagnosed proliferative retinopathy or evidence of peripheral neuropathy.
- Lack of appropriate treatment site or anatomy precluding the intervention of the target arteries (renal and hepatic artery).
- History of prior renal or hepatic artery intervention including balloon angioplasty, stenting, etc.
- Arterial stenosis \>50% of the normal diameter segment (diameter stenosis, compared to the angiographically normal proximal or distal segment).
- Any abnormality or disease in one or more of the target arteries that, per the physician assessment, precludes the safe insertion of the guiding catheter (including, but not limited to, artery aneurysm, excessive tortuosity, calcification).
- Occlusive peripheral vascular disease that would preclude percutaneous femoral access for the procedure.
- Known or suspected secondary hypertension, such as Cushing's disease or Cushing's Syndrome, hyperaldosteronism, pheochromocytoma, thyroid and parathyroid abnormalities, history of pre-eclampsia, onset of hypertension prior to the age of 18.
- Use of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) for two or more days per week over the month prior to enrollment.
- +47 more criteria
