RISKS:
Although major complications are uncommon, RDN treatment carries many of the same risks as an angioplasty procedure for the treatment of artery disease. The catheter insertion site could become infected, become bruised or bleed heavily. Other possible complications include heart attack, stroke, kidney damage or malfunction, heart rhythm disturbances, arterial damage, hypotension, sudden cardiac death, burns and pain. Imaging agents, pain medications and anti-spasm agents are commonly used during the procedure and carry known risks.
