The RDN works mainly by selectively disabling the nerves around the renal arteries and reducing blood pressure increase.

The new generation of the Symplicity Spyral catheter aims to address some of these issues by altering the configuration of the catheter to allow better apposition to the renal arterial wall and increasing the numbers of electrodes to faciiitate more thorough ablations. However, the adequacy of sympathetic denervation with this new catheter can not be easily assessed at the time of the procedure as there is no simple physiological or biochemical feedbacks that can be monitored during the procedure. Blood pressure response by renal nerve simulation (RNS) during RDN procedure using the previous generation of the Symplicity Flex catheter have been reported to be potential parameter to assess the efficacy during the procedure and predict the BP response 6 months after RDN.
