Spinal cord stimulation (SCS) is one of the methods for treating angina pectoris and has been used since 1985. Patients with refractory angina pectoris despite optimal medication and revascularisation procedures are suitable for the SCS. This kind of treatment is not common in Poland. This article reports the first case of a patient with ischaemic heart disease treated with spinal cord stimulation in the Clinical Department of Neurosurgery in the Military Clinical Hospital in Bydgoszcz. The procedure was based on epidural implantation of the electrode at the level of Th1-Th2 and connection with the impulse generator located subcutaneously. As a result of the applied stimulation reduction of the anginal pain was achieved.
