Sponsor's own description
To evaluate the safety and efficacy of targeted renal sympathetic denervation using SyMapCath I® and SYMPIONEER S1® Stimulator/ Generator in patients with essential hypertension for at least 6 months of the disease history and pharmacotherapy, however, their blood pressure still cannot be controlled, then after standardized antihypertensive drug therapy (at least two drugs) for at least 28 days, office systolic blood pressure is still ≥ 150mmHg, ≤180mmHg.
