Implant Gore TAG device with Best Medical therapy per physician discretion
Best Medical therapy is regimen of antihypertensive medications used to maintain blood pressure below 125/80 mm/Hg throughout the entire follow-up period. Because BMT is assessed by blood pressure response to medication, specific medication regimens for each patient will differ. The typical regimen consists of 1 to 4 concomitant antihypertensive medications that may include angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors, alpha blockers, beta blockers, calcium channel blockers, diuretics, and/or vasodilators.
