Earlier, Prof. Lim Soo Teik expressed his high expectations and interest in PADN, saying that PADN is the most anticipated breakthrough technology in the field of pulmonary hypertension in recent years, and he is honoured to participate in this study and to be the first center in Southeast Asia to participate in an international clinical study. Before the operation, he asked his team to conduct two training sessions to fully learn the new technology and successfully apply it in practical surgery. The dedication of Dr. Lim Soo Teik and his team was an important guarantee for the smooth implementation of this new technology in the surgery.

The successful landing of the first Asian center is an important measure for Pulnovo Medical to implement a global strategic layout based on the advantages of innovative technology in the era of discovery. At the same time, the smooth development of this clinical study is also inseparable from the continuous attention of the National Heart Centre Singapore (NHCS) Hospital in Singapore to the new breakthrough technology in the field of pulmonary hypertension and its active participation in the clinical research of PADN.

About PADN

Pulmonary Artery Denervation (PADN) is a percutaneous pulmonary artery intervention procedure that uses a PADN catheter to deliver radiofrequency energy to the sympathetic nerves in the outer membrane of the pulmonary artery, resulting in the disappearance of the myelin sheath of the nerves and the fusion of the axons, which inhibits sympathetic activity, increases cardiac output, reduces pulmonary artery pressure , inhibits the pathologic remodeling of the pulmonary arteries, improves the patient's exercise endurance and cardiac function, and achieves long-term benefits from a single minimally invasive procedure.
