EnligHTN German Observational Study of Renal Denervation for Uncontrolled Hypertension

This is a post market, multi-center, open label, observational study. Approximately 500 subjects with uncontrolled hypertension will undergo renal artery ablation at approximately 40 investigational sites located in Germany and will be followed for 1 year post procedure.The expected duration of the investigation will be approximately 4 years.
