British doctors say a ROX coupler can be implanted into the groin to treat refractory hypertension.
The implantation takes an hour to complete, and the needle-like device connects the two blood vessels together. Under conditions of high blood pressure, the device transfers part of the blood from the artery to the vein. Even in patients with dangerous hypertension who are ineffective, the blood pressure will drop immediately after using the device. Professor André Ng believes that this metal device can help millions of Britons. He said that there are many patients with hypertension who cannot control their high blood pressure. We hope to find breakthrough treatments to treat uncontrolled high blood pressure.
High blood pressure increases the risk of heart disease and stroke and can damage the kidneys and eyes. Patients often have to change lifestyles, such as salt control, exercise, and stress relief. They also need medication, but 20% of patients do not work on it. ROX coupler can help patients with refractory hypertension. It lowers blood pressure by connecting the arteries and veins in the upper thigh and transferring some blood from the artery to the vein during high blood pressure.
The operation only needs local anesthesia, and it takes only one hour. The technique is simple to operate and the surgeon is very familiar with learning. After a small-scale test was successful, a clinical trial of the device was underway. Professor André Ng said that if the trial is successful, the operation is expected to become popular in 2017.
