("Neovasc" or the "Company") (NASDAQ: NVCN) (TSX: NVC) reported today that the positive results of a single center, retrospective study using the Reducer product were published in the June 14, 2016 issue of The Netherlands Heart Journal in an article titled "Safety and efficacy of a device to narrow the coronary sinus for the treatment of refractory angina: A single center real world experience". The paper documented the results from 23 consecutive patients who were implanted with the Reducer in order to treat their severe refractory angina.
