Denervation

Laparoscopic renal denervation and nephropexy for autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease related pain in adolescents. ❋ Unknown (2010)

Another technique, known as facet joint denervation involves inactivating nerves in the joints that enable the spine to bend and twist, such as in the neck, by passing radio waves via needles inserted through the skin to heat the tissue at the tip of a joint. ❋ Unknown (2010)

In writing the 1955 review on the "Pharmacology of vascular smooth muscle," I had become very interested in the mechanisms by which sympathetic postganglionic denervation and certain drugs like cocaine markedly potentiate the response of effector organs to epinephrine and norepinephrine, yet markedly reduce the response to the sympathomimetic tyramine. ❋ Unknown (1999)

Quinby in 1916 used the canine renal autograft model to study the effect of denervation on renal function (16). ❋ Unknown (1990)

Furthermore, Cannon31 by preliminary sensitizing of organs through denervation, or cocainization, made them so hypersensitive to the sympathicus substance that they reacted to its release in any organ. ❋ Unknown (1965)

You did pull your renal denervation program forward and you're now expecting to CE Mark by the end of 2012.

I'm curious if you have any updates on, for instance, TAVI, renal denervation, the combined FFR OCD products for the U.S. market?

And again, this -- our renal denervation program is like that proverbial duck, it looks calm in the surface with the feet pedaling furiously beneath the surface and that's exactly what we're doing with our renal denervation program.

We thought that third quarter -- that's the second quarter call with -- particularly with the focus on the CRM market dynamics was really not the best time for us to offer more specificity on the renal denervation growth driver, and so we're going to keep that in our pocket to comment on in future calls.

The company's flagship product, the Symplicity Catheter System, addresses uncontrolled hypertension through renal denervation, or ablation of the nerves lining the renal arteries. ❋ Unknown (2011)

The procedure is known as lateral branch denervation and ablates the afferent nociceptive nerves that originate in the sacroiliac joint and surrounding tissue.

Minneapolis-based Medtronic sells a similar renal denervation system in Europe. ❋ Unknown (2012)

We continue to keep details of our technology confidential for competitive reasons, but as we have previously stated, we view the renal denervation market as a major new growth opportunity for St. Jude Medical and of resource they robust development program to capture this opportunity.

Unable to function, the muscles gradually weaken, develop fasciculations (twitches) due to denervation, and eventually atrophy. ❋ Unknown (2010)

Radiofrequency denervation is unlikely to help patients whose back pain is not caused by arthritis. ❋ Unknown (2010)

That has routinely led to a series of temporary diagnostic nerve blocks to prove the arthritis connection before doctors will recommend radiofrequency denervation, a relatively safe, noninvasive procedure that interrupts nerve-pain signals from arthritic joints. ❋ Unknown (2010)

Radiofrequency denervation is the second most common procedure in pain clinics across the ❋ Unknown (2010)

Cohen notes that radiofrequency denervation is as safe as giving a diagnostic block and need only be done once for relief of symptoms. ❋ Unknown (2010)

"When you do two blocks, you may be wrongly weeding out many people who would actually benefit from radio-frequency denervation," said Cohen. ❋ Unknown (2010)
