Abstract | Renal artery denervation (RDN) has been proposed for resistant arterial hypertension. Beyond conventional radiofrequency (RF) ablation, there are emerging RDN technologies, including laser catheter ablation. We aimed at evaluamting the local effects of laser ablation on the renal artery and perivascular nerve injury in comparison with radiofrequency ablation. Thirteen pigs (mean weight 36.7 ± 4.7 kg, age 3 months) were divided into three groups: (1) laser ablation in normotensive pigs (LA; n = 3), (2) bipolar RF ablation in normotensive pigs (RF; n = 7), and (3) a sham group (SHAM; n = 3). Transcatheter laser and RF ablations were performed under general anesthesia. After euthanasia, pathology and immunohistochemical studies were performed. Artery wall and perivascular nerve lesions were found in the LA and RF groups. A lower rate of intimal microdissections was evaluated after laser ablation when compared with RF ablation (0 vs. 1.5 [1;2.75] per artery; p < .05). There was a numerical prevalence of nerves with tyrosine hydroxylase expression loss after laser RDN when compared with RF ablation (16.7 [4; 18] vs. 9.1 [0;18] per specimen). Laser ablation is noninferior to RF ablation regarding perivascular nerve injury and is associated with less intimal layer damage. |
