Clinical Trial: Extracorporeal Shockwave Therapy for the Treatment of Refractory Angina Pectoris

Study Status: Completed
Recruit Status: Completed
Study Type: Interventional




Official Title: Randomized, Placebo Controlled, Double Blind Clinical Trial Evaluating the Treatment of Patients With Refractory Angina Pectoris With Low Intensity Extracorporeal Shockwav

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.
