Coronary Sinus Reducer for Symptomatic Heart Failure with Preserved Ejection Fraction and Coronary Microvascular Dysfunction Treatment
This study explores if a Coronary Sinus Reducer can improve symptoms of heart failure with preserved ejection fraction and coronary microvascular dysfunction by changing pulmonary arterial wedge pressure during exercise.

Summary
Study start date: October 16, 2025
Actual date on which the first participant was enrolled.This study focuses on evaluating a treatment device called the CS Reducer for people who have a type of heart failure known as HFpEF, which means heart failure with preserved ejection fraction. These individuals also experience coronary microvascular dysfunction, a condition affecting the small blood vessels in the heart. The goal is to see if the CS Reducer can help manage symptoms by reducing the pressure in the heart, especially during exercise. This could be important for improving quality of life and managing symptoms in patients who currently have limited treatment options. Participants in the study will have the CS Reducer implanted, and its effects will be monitored through specialized tests that measure the pressure inside the heart, particularly the pulmonary artery wedge pressure (PAWP), while exercising. This procedure involves an invasive measurement, meaning it directly assesses what's happening inside the heart. The study does not mention specific risks or benefits, but the potential benefit is better management of heart symptoms during physical activity.
