Abstract
Uncontrolled drug-treated hypertension can lead to serious cardiovascular and cerebrovascular events. Type 2 diabetes mellitus has caused a huge health burden worldwide, with the global prevalence of chronic hyperglycemia or diabetes being approximately 1 in 11 among adults. Even in patients who are compliant with medication treatment and lifestyle changes, glycemic control may still be inadequate. In this case report, a young Chinese patient with uncontrolled drug-treated hypertension and type 2 diabetes was successfully treated with endovascular denervation combined with renal sympathetic denervation under three-dimensional guidance through the Ensite Velocity 5.0 system. The positive results from this study provide new opportunities for the treatment of uncontrolled drug-treated hypertension with type 2 diabetes.
