Does stereotactic radiosurgical stellate ganglion ablation relieve symptoms in patients with chronic refractory angina pectoris?
Stereotactic radiosurgical stellate ganglion ablation may be a feasible, minimally invasive, and low-risk procedure for providing long-term relief in patients with chronic refractory angina pectoris.
Hudec et al. (2021) conducted a case report in Chronic refractory angina pectoris (n=1). Bilateral stereotactic radiosurgical stellate ganglion ablation was evaluated on Angina relief and complications. Bilateral stereotactic radiosurgical stellate ganglion ablation eliminated angina in a single patient over a 1-year follow-up, with no clinically relevant early or late complications.
