Historical reports on surgical renal denervation consistently describe renal plexus as a triangle or fan-like structure converging at the kidney gate. Following that anatomy, we developed a distal mode of radiofrequency renal denervation (RDN) mainly in segmental branches of the renal artery and confirmed its superior efficacy over the conventional main trunk procedure in a 6-months double-blind randomized controlled trial (NCT02667912). To assess the long-term effects of distal RDN we extended the follow-up of our study to three years. BP, serum creatinine, eGFR were measured one and three years after randomization; major adverse renal events were assessed over the entire study period. The blinding was maintained over the entire three-year study period. Of 55 randomized patients, 47 (23/24, distal/main trunk RDN, respectively) were assessed at one year and 39 (21/18) at three years post-procedure. Twenty-four-hour ambulatory systolic BP remained powerfully lowered after distal RDN both at one- and three-years assessments(mean change from baseline: -18.0, 95% CI -27.6 to -8.5; p<0.05 and -16·9, 95% CI -27·3 to -6·5; p<0·05, mmHg, respectively. This was accompanied by a moderate drop in eGFR at one year: -8·9 ml/min/m2, 95% CI -14·8 to -3·1; p<0·05, which, however, subsequently decreased in size at three years: -6·5, 95% CI -13·2 to 0·3; p>0·05. After main trunk RDN, the decrease of 24h systolic BP was quite moderate at one year: -12·1, 95% CI -19·2 to -5·0; p<0·05, and further weakened at three-year assessment: -8·5, 95% CI -19·7 to 2·2; p>0.05. eGFR was almost unchanged at one year: -1·3, 95% CI -6·6 to 4·0; p>0·05, but significantly decreased at three years: -5·0, 95% CI -9·6 to -0·3; p<0·05. Our data demonstrate the durable strong BP-lowering efficacy and favorable long-term renal safety of distal RDN.
