Sinus reducer trial for persistent chest pain
Part of Heart & circulation, Pain clinical trials.
This study tests a device called the sinus reducer for people with long-lasting chest pain that hasn't improved with medication or other procedures. It may help if you have limited options for treatment.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have ongoing chest pain (angina) that limits your daily activities despite taking the strongest medications.
- A heart team has confirmed that standard procedures like stents or bypass surgery aren't right for you.
- You haven't had a heart attack or heart procedure in the last 3 months.
- Your heart's right atrial pressure is not too high (below a certain level).
- Your coronary sinus (a vein in the heart) has a size between 10 and 14 mm.
- You are expected to live more than 12 months and do not have severe heart failure that requires a special pacemaker.

This trial tests a small device called a coronary sinus reducer that is placed in a vein of the heart to improve blood flow and reduce chest pain in people who still have angina despite medications and cannot have stents or bypass surgery. The procedure is done through a small tube in the groin or arm.
This trial tests a device placed in a heart vein to improve symptoms in people whose heart pumps normally but still causes shortness of breath and fatigue. The device may help relieve pressure in the heart and improve daily life.
This trial tests a device called the Coronary Sinus Reducer for people with chest pain caused by problems in the small arteries of the heart. The device is placed in a vein near the heart to improve blood flow and reduce symptoms.
This trial tests whether implanting a small device in the heart’s coronary sinus can reduce symptoms in people with long-lasting “refractory” angina despite taking the usual heart medicines. It may help improve how much activity you can do and reduce angina-related limitations.
This trial tests whether a small pressure-reducing device placed in a heart vein (the coronary sinus) can reduce symptoms in people with ongoing chest pain from tiny blood vessel problems. It is for angina that has not improved despite standard heart medicines, and only if special heart tests show reversible reduced blood flow.
This trial tests a device called the Neovasc Coronary Sinus Reducer to help people with long-lasting, hard-to-control chest pain (angina) who cannot have artery-opening procedures. It may improve symptoms by changing blood flow in the heart’s vein system.
