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.
