RDN operation. (a) Left renal arteriography; (b) right renal arteriography; (c, d) contact photoinduced pressure unipolar ablation catheter was delivered to the aorta and bilateral renal arteries; (e) three-dimensional map anatomy was established using the ensite system for point-by-point ablation in a four-quadrant spiral. The left picture shows the left-anterior oblique view, and the right one shows a-p position. L = left, R= right, RA = renal artery, and AO = aorta.
