title: [Transfemoral balloon occlusion of the coronary sinus in patients with angina pectoris].
abstract: The aim of the study was to demonstrate the possibility of transfemoral balloon occlusion of the coronary sinus and to detect changes of the left ventricular function during this occlusion in patients with angina pectoris. In 9 of 18 patients a stable occlusion over 15 seconds was performed. There were found only short term negative effects on the left ventricular contraction and relaxation. The coronary sinus pressure increased to 53 +/- 11 mm Hg. Numerous venous anastomoses made it difficult to occlude completely the sinus. The retrograde perfusion of the myocardium reached 20-30% of the antegrade one.
