About this trial

Patients with refractory microvascular angina fulfilling the predefined inclusion and exclusion criteria will be enrolled in this randomized trial. The primary objective is to investigate whether the proportion of patients reporting an improvement in Canadian Cardiovascular Society (CCS) angina class (≥2 classes) is different at six months after implantation of a Coronary Sinus Reducer followed by optimal medical therapy (OMT) compared to OMT alone.

Eligibility criteria

This trial does not accept healthy volunteers

Qualifiers

Age ≥ 18 and ≤85 years

Chronic coronary syndrome (including patients with anginal equivalents) refractory angina CCS class III-IV despite guideline-directed medical therapy

Evidence of reversible ischemia on non-invasive testing

index of microvascular resistances (IMR) >25 and/or

Disqualifiers

Recent (within 3 months) acute coronary syndrome

Recent (within 6 months) revascularization by percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI, stent) or coronary artery by-pass surgery (CABG)

Recent (within 30 days) unsuccessful PCI

Decompensated congestive heart failure (CHF) or hospitalization due to CHF during the last 3 months

Trial design

Design model

Parallel

Treatments tested in this trial

  • Coronary sinus reducer

    Device

    The Reducer System comprises the Reducer device (Reducer) pre-mounted on the Reducer Balloon Catheter. The Reducer System is available in one model size. The Reducer is a sterile, single-use, implantable device designed to establish a narrowing in the coronary sinus (CS) and is intended to improve perfusion to ischemic myocardium in the presence of reversible ischemic heart disease to alleviate the symptoms of refractory angina. The device is implanted percutaneously through the right internal jugular vein into the CS. The Reducer is pre-mounted (crimped) on the Reducer Balloon Catheter which, after inflation, causes device expansion and apposition with the vessel wall. The balloon catheter is then deflated and removed from the CS, leaving the device permanently implanted.

  • Optimal medical therapy

Secondary outcomes

1

Change in angina severity according to the Seattle Angina Questionnaire

change in angina severity as assessed by the Seattle Angina Questionnaire (SAQ-7, range from 0 to 100, with 100 as minimal physical limitation and angina and 0 as maximal limitation and angina) at six months.
