Renal sympathetic denervation using MR-guided high-intensity focused ultrasound in a porcine model

Conclusions Performing renal denervation non-invasively with MRgHIFU was shown to be both safe and effective as determined by norepinephrine levels in a porcine model. This approach may be a promising alternative to catheter-based strategies.
