About Pulmonary Artery Denervation (PADN)
Pulnovo Medical's independently developed Pulmonary Artery Denervation (PADN) system is a globally innovative minimally invasive interventional therapy product that targets and intervenes in the core mechanisms of pulmonary vascular remodeling and the progression of cardiopulmonary diseases by regulating over - activated sympathetic nerve activity. Multiple global studies have confirmed that PADN shows clinically significant benefits in improving functional capacity and reducing major adverse clinical events.
This therapy has been included in multiple international clinical guidelines, including the 2022 ESC/ERS Guidelines for the Diagnosis and Treatment of Pulmonary Hypertension, and has been cited in seven clinical guidelines at home and abroad to date.
Multiple clinical studies are being simultaneously promoted in multiple regions around the world, and the recently launched PULSE - LHD IDE clinical trial in the United States will further consolidate the clinical evidence base of PADN and support its great potential in meeting the major unmet medical needs of patients with heart failure and related cardiopulmonary diseases.
