High blood pressure treatment device 'promising'

23 January 2015 Last updated at 01:28

A device the size of a paper clip inserted in the groin has shown promising results in lowering blood pressure, scientists say.

In a study of 83 patients, published in The Lancet, those who received the device experienced an immediate reduction in blood pressure.

But one-third also developed swelling in their leg which needed treatment.

Experts say the device could be a new way of controlling blood pressure, particularly in hard-to-treat cases.
