People with treatment-resistant hypertension could benefit from a new procedure that the FDA recently approved.
The minimally invasive procedure targets nerves near the kidneys to help control high blood pressure when medications fail to do so.
Dr. Samin Sharma, an interventional cardiologist and director of the Mount Sinai Cardiovascular Clinical Institute at Mount Sinai Fuster Heart Hospital in New York City, performed the new procedure on a patient with uncontrolled hypertension earlier this month.
