INTERVENTIONAL
Conditions
Summary
The subjects of this study were patients with essential refractory hypertension. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of superselective adrenal arterial embolization (SAAE) in patients with primary refractory hypertension and to explore the possibility of SAAE in patients with primary refractory hypertension.After the subject completes the SAAE, an 8-week follow-up will be conducted to assess the safety and effectiveness of the SAAE.
Eligibility
Inclusion Criteria5
- Age \> 18 years, no gender restrictions;
- Primary refractory hypertension: Taking three antihypertensive drugs, including a - diuretic, with an average office systolic blood pressure ≥150 mmHg measured three times;
- Duration of hypertension greater than 6 months;
- Standing plasma aldosterone and renin activity not below the lower limit of the unit's reference range;
- Signed informed consent form.
Exclusion Criteria7
- Morning cortisol level \< 4.3 µg/dL; estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) \< 45 mL/min/1.73 m²; serum potassium level \> 5.5 mmol/L;
- Type 1 diabetes, uncontrolled hyperthyroidism, malignant arrhythmias, malignant tumors, decompensated heart failure, severe liver dysfunction, severe hematological diseases, severe obstructive sleep apnea syndrome, history of myocardial infarction, syncope, cerebral hemorrhage, or cerebral infarction within the past 3 months;
- Pregnant women or those planning to conceive within the next year;
- Presence of other severe organic diseases that would make the patient unable to tolerate superselective adrenal arterial embolization;
- Adrenal mass with a diameter exceeding 2 cm;
- Severe allergy to contrast agents;
- Patients enrolled or planning to participate in other clinical studies that could impact the results of this study.
Interventions
Superselective adrenal arterial embolization is an operation to inject embolic agent into adrenal artery through catheter to embolize part of adrenal gland, so as to reduce the secretion of adrenal hormone and reduce blood pressure.
