SPYRAL PIVOTAL - SPYRAL HTN-OFF MED Study
The purpose of this study is to test the hypothesis that renal denervation decreases blood pressure and is safe when studied in the absence of antihypertensive medications.
Stanford is currently accepting patients for this trial.

mmHg and < 170 mmHg.

- Individual has estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) of <45.
- Individual has type 1 diabetes mellitus or poorly-controlled type 2 diabetes mellitus.
- Individual has one or more episodes of orthostatic hypotension.
- Individual requires chronic oxygen support or mechanical ventilation other than
nocturnal respiratory support for sleep apnea.
- Individual has primary pulmonary hypertension.
