Official Title: Clinical Trial Evaluating the Treatment of Patients With Refractory Chronic Angina Pectoris With Low Intensity Extracorporeal Shockwave Therapy Device
Brief Summary:
Low intensity shockwaves have been proven in animal studies to induce local growth of new blood vessels from existing ones.
The hypothesis of this study is that shockwave therapy could improve the symptoms of patients with refractory angina not amenable to revascularization with angioplasty or bypass surgery.
