Has anyone heard of renal sympathetic denervation?
I wonder if it may keep hypertension at bay in pregnancies of women who have chronic hypertension. I haven't seen any news about this, but just curious if anyone else has.

I actually just saw a press conference on this online -- renal artery ablation for control of chronic hypertension. I suspect we would not be candidates unless we had severe hypertension uncontrolled by three meds outside of pregnancy. Theoretically it's very very interesting stuff, though.
