No long-term adverse events resulted from the procedure that was carried out under a local anesthetic and used radio energy frequency delivered to the targeted nerve area via a catheter. This caused the nerves to be silenced in the renal artery that supplies blood to the kidneys. It has long been believed this region is a key regulator of BP.
