The device is inserted through a catheter to the kidney. It heats and kills problematic nerves that can cause high blood pressure in some patients.
Dan Kasprzyk is the founder and president of Symple Surgical, which is developing the device. “Our goal is to make this a mainstream procedure that could be done anywhere in the world for patients that are struggling with either resistant hypertension or just a lifelong struggle with high blood pressure,” Kasprzyk says.
