Symplicity works through a minimally invasive procedure. The doctor inserts a steerable catheter into the renal artery, and Symplicity's radio frequency energy electrode tip performs a series of two-minute ablations to arterial nerves. Once the process is completed, Symplicity goes out the way it came in, and there's no need for permanent implants. The procedure is called renal denervation.
There is a great phrase lower down "sham surgery" ooh err.... 8)
An interesting piece.... but not sure when the NHS might adopt this... can imagine it being done as out-patients, but how bad do you have to be. Potentially a life-saver though good on them to come up with a non-pharm approach. All is not lost alles! 8)
