Coronary sinus (CS) Reducer is currently indicated for the treatment of refractory angina in patients unsuitable for coronary revascularization. A 15-30% of non-responders is a constant across literature. Alternative coronary venous drainage systems may be an important factor in determining if patients "respond" to this intervention.

Abstract

Coronary sinus (CS) Reducer is currently indicated for the treatment of refractory angina in patients unsuitable for coronary revascularization. A 15-30% of non-responders is a constant across literature. Alternative coronary venous drainage systems may be an important factor in determining if patients "respond" to this intervention. We propose a simple method to indirectly assess the presence of these alternative drainage systems and predict responsiveness to Reducer implantation.
