Endovascular baroreflex amplification for resistant hypertension: what you need to know.

Endovascular baroreflex amplification is an alternative treatment strategy for patients with resistant hypertension. In endovascular baroreflex, the carotid baroreflex is activated by a MobiusHD((R)) device (MD) which has been implanted in the internal carotid artery. This review will discuss the MD technology and mechanism of action and promising results in the first-in-human prospective study involving the use of the MD in patients with resistant hypertension.
