Abstract

Due to ageing population and increased survival of the patients with coronary artery disease there is an increasing number of patients with debilitating angina refractory to optimal medical treatment who are not candidates for revascularization. Even more, up to 30% of patients have symptoms of angina 1 year after revascularization, some with no additional revascularization options. In case of low ischemic load, the treatment of stable refractory angina is aimed at symptom reduction. There are several new treatment methods targeting myocardial ischemia available. We report a case of a patient with unsuccessful PCI of RCA CTO suffering from refractory angina successfully treated with Coronary sinus Flow Reducer (CFR).
