reducer-i: an observational study of the neovasc reducer™ system

Conditions: Angina Pectoris; Angina Pectoris, Stable; Chronic Stable Angina

Summary: the purpose of this study is to collect long term data of the reducer system in subjects with refractory angina pectoris.

this study is a multicenter, multi-country three-arm prospective and retrospective investigation in up to 400 subjects conducted at a maximum of 40 investigational centers. arm 1 will include eligible prospective subjects. arm 2 will include subjects who were previously enrolled and treated with the reducer during the cosira (coronary sinus reducer for treatment of refractory angina) study. arm 3 will include subjects who received a reducer under ce mark (unrelated to the cosira study).

Eligibility criteria:
inclusion criteria - all arms: * subject has been informed about the study and provides written informed consent prior to enrollment * subject is willing to comply with specified follow-up evaluations inclusion criteria - arm 1: * symptomatic coronary artery disease (cad) with chronic refractory angina pectoris despite attempted optimal medical therapy * subject has limited treatment options for revascularization by coronary artery bypass grafting (cabg) or by percutaneous coronary intervention (pci) * evidence of reversible myocardial ischemia * left ventricular ejection fraction (lvef) greater than or equal to 30% * male or non-pregnant female inclusion criteria - arm 2: * subjects previously implanted in the reducer (treatment) arm of the cosira study inclusion criteria - arm 3: * subjects in whom the reducer was implanted under ce mark (unrelated to the cosira study), prior to enrollment in the reducer-i study exclusion criteria - arm 1: * acute coronary syndrome within three months prior to enrollment * recent successful revascularization by pci or cabg within six months prior to enrollment * recent unsuccessful pci (no relief from symptoms) within 30 days prior to enrollment * unstable angina (recent onset angina, crescendo angina, or rest angina with electrocardiogram \[ecg\] changes) during the 30 days prior to enrollment * decompensated congestive heart failure (chf) or hospitalization due to chf during the three months prior to enrollment * severe chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (copd) as indicated by a forced expiratory volume in one second that is less than 55% of the predicted value * subject cannot undergo exercise tolerance test * subject cannot undergo 6-minute walk test * severe valvular heart disease * subject with pacemaker electrode in the coronary sinus (cs) * subject with recent placement of a new pacemaker or defibrillator electrode in the right atrium within 3 months prior to enrollment. * subject having undergone tricuspid valve replacement or repair * chronic renal failure (serum creatinine \>2 mg/dl), including subjects on chronic hemodialysis * moribund subjects, or subjects with comorbidities limiting life expectancy to less than one year * known severe reaction to required procedural medications * known allergy to stainless steel or nickel * magnetic resonance imaging (mri) planned within 8 weeks after reducer implantation * currently enrolled in another device or drug trial that has not completed the primary endpoint or that clinically interferes with the current study endpoints angiographic exclusion: * mean right atrial pressure greater than 15mmhg * subject with anomalous or abnormal cs anatomy (e.g., tortuosity, aberrant branch, persistent left superior vena cava \[svc\]) * cs diameter at the site of planned reducer implantation less than 9.5 mm or greater than 13 mm
