Medicare Now Covers Breakthrough Technology To Treat Uncontrolled High Blood Pressure

NORTHAMPTON, MA / ACCESS Newswire / October 29, 2025 / Medtronic

Decision means millions of Americans have access to the Medtronic Symplicity Spyral renal denervation system

Edwin Jimenez knows a thing or two about staying physically fit.

"I grew up on a farm-style ranch in California, and I helped the workers in the fields," he remembered. "After that I spent 22 years in the Marines, where fitness is required. I've always been in good shape."

Even after retiring from the military and moving to a civil service career, you could find him at the gym after work. So it took him by surprise when a routine checkup revealed a problem.

"My high blood pressure came on kind of quickly," he said. "The doctors put me on medication, and I thought that would take care of it."

But it didn't.

Jimenez's blood pressure remained stubbornly high. Doctors tried combinations and different doses of medication for years, but any improvement in his blood pressure proved temporary.

As time passed, side effects from the drugs and his rising blood pressure took a toll on his health. The muscular ex-Marine who worked the treadmill and lifted weights, even in retirement, now didn't have the energy to get off the couch.

"Even with medication, my blood pressure at times was as high as 185 over 99. It was out of control. I was regularly lightheaded and had no energy. So they sent me to Dr. Kaynak."

Medicare now covers renal denervation
Dr. Evren Kaynak is the Cardiovascular Services Medical Director at Onvida Health in Yuma, Arizona. He recommended a minimally invasive medical procedure called renal denervation (RDN) to treat Jimenez's hypertension, using the Symplicity Spyral renal denervation system from Medtronic.

"For decades, the only ways to treat high blood pressure involved diet and lifestyle changes and medication," said Dr. Kaynak. "But RDN is giving us another option. It has opened a new door to treat hypertension. The potential to help people is vast."

With the Symplicity blood pressure procedure, doctors use precisely tuned radiofrequency energy to ablate nerves in the kidneys, which calm the excessive activity of the nerves near the kidney.¹ That in turn helps lower blood pressure for many patients. The Symplicity blood pressure procedure is a one-time event, leaves no permanent implant behind, and studies have found it safe and effective in lowering blood pressure, especially for patients who can't control it with medication alone.^2,3
