Description of intervention(s) / exposure
Treatment: Devices - Catheter-Based Carotid Body Ablation

Experimental: Catheter-Based Carotid Body Ablation - All subjects undergo catheter-based ablation of the carotid body using the Cibiem Transvenous Ultrasound System (CTUS).


Treatment: Devices: Catheter-Based Carotid Body Ablation
The Cibiem Transvenous Ultrasound System (CTUS) is a catheter based device delivering ultrasound energy to ablate the carotid body. The procedure is done via a percutaneous insertion of the CTUS and advancement through the femoral vein to the jugular vein in subjects with difficult to control hypertension. The procedure duration is expected to range between 60 to 90 minutes and is performed under fluoroscopic and ultrasound image guidance.
