The Turning Point in Hypertension Care
Recently approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the Symplicity Spyral™ renal denervation (RDN) system involves a minimally invasive procedure that targets nerves near the kidneys that can become overactive and cause high blood pressure. Matthew C. Becker, M.D., Chairman of the Division of Cardiovascular Medicine and the Director of the Cardiac Catheterization Laboratories for LECOM Health, performed the initial procedures April 25, 2024. He is the first in Pennsylvania to offer the groundbreaking procedure.
