This review outlines current device-based therapies for refractory angina, with a primary focus on the Coronary Sinus Reducer™, which has demonstrated meaningful improvements in symptoms and quality of life for patients who are not candidates for further revascularization. It also evaluates emerging technologies, mechanisms of action, clinical evidence, and ongoing research aimed at optimizing patient selection and understanding why symptomatic benefits often occur despite minimal changes in objective perfusion measures.
