Official Title: A Safety and Performance Study of Renal Denervation by Neurolysis Using the Ablative Solutions Inc. Peregrine System™ Infusion Catheter

Brief Summary: The Ablative Solutions, Inc. Peregrine System Infusion Catheter is a catheter-based device which is intended to be used to ablate the afferent and efferent sympathetic nerves serving the kidneys. The catheter is typically inserted via the femoral artery, steered into the renal artery, and then delivers, by infusion from its distal end, a neurolytic agent. This targets the nerve bundles, which are in the adventitia - a sheath surrounding the artery. The aim is to reduce blood pressure in cases of resistant hypertension - seriously elevated blood pressure which does not respond to drug treatment.
