Trial outcomes

Primary outcomes

1

Incidence of serious device- and procedure-related complications at 30 days post procedure.

This composite endpoint is defined as: * death * flow-limiting dissection at one or more of the treated arteries requiring intervention. * Type III perforation of the treated artery requiring intervention. * bleeding requiring transfusion. * severe or occlusive thrombosis of the treated artery beds * clinically significant distal embolization of the treated artery beds * clinically significant damage to kidneys and/or liver

Time frame
30 Days
2

Device success

The device success, defined as successful introduction of the catheter, navigation to the treatment site, and infusion of the chemical to the perivascular without device malfunction that requiring aborting the procedure.

During the procedure

Secondary outcomes

1

Glycemic Control:

Change of fasting glucose and HbA1c will be analyzed by absolute and relative changes. Percent subjects with decreased fasting glucose and HbA1c will also be analyzed.

Time frame
1 month, 3 months, 6 months, 12 months, and 24 months. Optional 3, 4 and 5 years to understand the long-term effects of the treatment.
2

Hypertension Control:

Change of blood pressure will be analyzed by systolic, diastolic, and mean arterial pressure, absolute and relative changes of ABPM and office blood pressure. Percent subjects with decrease blood pressure will also be analyzed.

Time frame
1 month, 3 months, 6 months, 12 months, and 24 months. Optional 3, 4 and 5 years
