Medtronic’s clinical study of its Symplicity Spyral renal denervation system for hypertension is likely to go down to the wire for inclusion as a late-breaking clinical trial at the upcoming Transcatheter Cardiovascular Therapeutics (TCT) conference.
The highly anticipated results will offer new insight into the Fridley, Minnesota-based medical device manufacturer’s quest to build a billion-dollar business treating hypertension. CEO Geoff Martha recently reported “good progress” in those efforts, saying the trial “represents the final piece of a large body of evidence that we intend to submit to the FDA for approval.”
