Abstract

Coronary sinus Reducer is a current therapeutic treatment for patients with persistent refractory angina. We report a case of successful implantation of the device in the middle cardiac vein of a 65 years old female patient. The singular and unusual site for the Reducer was planned after a careful assessment of the venous drainage of the ischemic territory.

Keywords: coronary sinus; reducer; refractory angina.
