About this study
In plain language
This study looks at the long-term safety and how well the FDA-approved Paradise System works in everyday care. It is for people whose high blood pressure has not come down with lifestyle changes and medicine.
The objective of the Global Paradise® System US Post Approval Study (US GPS) is to evaluate the real-world use of the Paradise Ultrasound Renal Denervation System indicated for patients who are unable to lower their blood pressure with lifestyle changes and medication. This system is comprised of a catheter, cable, balloon, and generator and has received FDA approval in the United States. Information collected in this study will be analyzed to better understand the long-term safety and effectiveness of treatment with the Paradise System for patients with high blood pressure.
Compensation is read from the study's own description and may be missing — always confirm with the study team.
