Renal denervation for successful pregnancy in a patient with chronic hypertension and history of preeclampsia: A case report

Year: 2025

Type: article

Abstract: To our knowledge, this was the first report of a female with a history of chronic hypertension and preeclampsia who successfully delivered a second child following renal denervation (RDN). After the procedure and titration of antihypertensive medication, her ambulatory and clinic blood pressure levels improved significantly. Notably, her second entire pregnancy was sustained with reduced ambulatory blood pressure and an absence of proteinuria. This case suggests that RDN may represent a potentially feasible and effective therapeutic option for women with poor uncontrolled hypertension taking three kinds of antihypertensive drugs who wish to conceive and achieve a successful pregnancy.
