Two patient groups have been selected to take part in the Radiance-Htn clinical tria, which is a blinded, randomised and sham-controlled trial to assess the ability of the Paradise system to decrease blood pressure.
The patient group, SOLO cohort will test patients with essential hypertension on two or less antihypertensive medications and the other group, TRIO cohort will test the patients with treatment-resistant hypertension on a minimum of three antihypertensive medications.
The first TRIO patient was enrolled at the Erasmus University Medical Centre in Rotterdam, Netherlands by Dr Joost Daemen.

By GlobalDataThe first SOLO patient was enrolled at Sutter Health, Sacramento, US by Dr Pei-Hsiu Huang.
He said: "The SOLO cohort represents a large population of hypertension patients, many of whom are seeking alternative methods to manage a lifetime of hypertension treatment.
"We are excited to be part of this important study and by the possibility that RADIANCE-HTN could demonstrate the efficacy of renal denervation with the Paradise System, and open a path to new treatment options for our hypertension patients."
