In addition to medical approaches, laser revascularization, transmyocardial laser revascularization, angiogenesis, growth factor gene therapy, thoracic epidural anesthesia, and spinal cord simulation are used to treat chronic refractory angina pectoris. A unilateral left stellate ganglion block is another alternative. It may particularly be considered as a palliative intervention in patients with a short life span. Described here is the case of a 66-year-old male patient for whom a unilateral left stellate ganglion blockade was used to treat chronic refractory angina pectoris. |
