AIMS: A recent guideline presented by the ESC Congress in 2022 had indicated a novel therapy targeted at pulmonary artery hypertension, known as pulmonary artery denervation (PADN), which get inspired from a laboratorial trial that could lowering the pulmonary artery pressure through the intervention on the animals. Our aim is to conduct a network meta-analysis to compare the efficacy and safety of PADN from six aspects with the current conventional therapies. METHODS AND RESULTS: According to the PRISMA guidance, databases including Ovid, ClinicalTrials.gov, Medline, Embase, and PubMed were searched from inception to 22 August 2023, along with a full assessment of the previous five meta-analyses. Data were extracted and curated for Bayesian network meta-analysis. The primary outcome was the change in the 6-min walking distance (6MWD) from baseline with a secondary outcome called change in mean pulmonary artery pressure (mPAP) from baseline. The four safety outcomes included risk of clinical worsening, hospitalization, mortality and severe adverse events (SAEs). The comparison is structured on a contrast model based on 65 randomized controlled trials (RCTs) on PADN and the other conventional mainstream drugs. PADN had a better effect in improving 6MWD than Placebo (-77.76 m, 95% CI: -102.04 to -54.34 m), Macitentan (-65.32 m, 95% CI: -95.34 to -36.1 m), Bosentan (-64.5 m, 95% CI: -94.7 to -35.07 m), Iloprost (-62.66 m, 95% CI: -99.48 to -27.13 m), Oxygen (-62.42 m, 95% CI: -1...
