Outline of Final Research Achievements

The aim of this invention is the development of the totally implantable hypertension control machine, which will be able to be used by the patients themselves. For that purpose, hypertension control machine was composed with the implantable renal nerve cooling device using Peltier elements, the secondary coil with control system, and the first coil placed outside of the human body. The results of our study showed the sucessful invention of the renal nerve control system.
