The Coral TrialResults:
- No difference in composite end point between the treatment groups.
- No difference in individual components of primary endpoint between the treatment groups.
- Modest difference in control of systolic BP in patients treated with stents ( -2.3 mm Hg, P= 0.03)

2014 Evidence-Based Guidelines for the Management of High Blood Pressure in AdultsReport From the Panel Members Appointed to the Eight Joint National Committee ( JNC 8)
Three Questions Answered:
1) In adults with HTN, does initiating antihypertensive pharmacologic therapy at specific thresholds improve health outcomes ?
2) In adults with HTN, does treatment with antihypertensive pharmacologic therapy to a specific BP goal lead to improvements in health outcomes ?
3) In adults with HTN, do various antihypertensive drug or drug classes differ in comparative benefits and harms on specific health outcomes ?

2014 Evidence-Based Guidelines for the Management of High Blood Pressure in AdultsReport From the Panel Members Appointed to the Eight Joint National Committee ( JNC 8)
Evidence Review:
1) Mortality, CVD-related mortality,CKD-related mortality
2) MI, CHF, hospitalization for CHF or CVA
3) Need for coronary revascularizaton, PTA or stent placement (coronary, carotid,renal or lower extremities)
4) ESRD, or doubling of serum creatinine or 50% reduction in measured GFR
5) Included only RCT

Conclusions
- PTA and endovascular stenting of the renal artery for atherosclerotic disease should not be routine practice
- Renal artery denervation for resistant hypertension has shown initial promise and we will have to await publication of Simplicity 3 to determine its place in management of severe hypertension
- JNC 8 has raised goal BP for most patients with HTN. Jury is still out for patients with CKD or CKD plus proteinuria
