Medtronic's SPYRAL AFFIRM study demonstrates significant and clinically meaningful blood pressure reductions at six months with the Symplicity Spyral renal denervation system without increasing antihypertensive medications. The FDA has approved a labeling update expanding the clinical data for use in patients with isolated systolic hypertension, chronic kidney disease stage up to 3b, and type 2 diabetes, broadening its treatment options in the U.S.

This Wire brief sits within Fusion42's coverage of Medtech.

◆ ◆ The Wire takeaway

You can now offer patients with complex hypertension profiles new treatment options backed by FDA-approved data. This label expansion opens the door to wider clinical use and may increase patient demand quickly.
