Burst stimulation for refractory angina pectoris.
Anesthesia and pain medicine. 2023 July 15
Refractory angina pectoris (RAP) is a chronic, severe chest pain associated with coronary artery disease that cannot be resolved using optimal medical or surgical approaches. Spinal cord stimulation (SCS) is a suitable treatment option. Conventional waveforms of SCS have shown a potent effect on the tempering of RAP. However, SCS is associated with undesired paresthesia. The new burst SCS waveforms have been reported to have fewer adverse effects. We reviewed a case in which RAP was successfully treated with burst SCS in a middle-aged man, with a tonic waveform employed for breakthrough pain as needed. Appropriate use of tonic and burst stimulations according to the symptoms is expected to maximize the effect of relieving chest pain induced by RAP.
