Control of hypertension by ethanol renal ablation

GS Nanni, IF Hawkins Jr and JK Orak

All patients either showed complete resolution of the hypertension or improved medical manageability of the hypertension became possible. Ethanol appears to cause permanent renal ablation by cell death while decreasing the risks associated with other embolization techniques.
