          Abstract

          Previous trials have demonstrated clinically significant and durable reductions in arterial pressure from baroreflex activation therapy (BAT), resulting from electrical stimulation of the carotid sinus using a novel implantable device. A second-generation system for delivering BAT, the Barostim neo™ system, has been designed to deliver BAT with a simpler device and implant procedure.
