This study enrolled 12 symptomatic patients (mean age 66.8 years, 58% male) who underwent A-FLUX treatment, among whomSix patients with coronary microvascular dysfunction (CMD),Obstructive Epicardial Coronary Artery Disease (CAD)Six patients were enrolled. Patients were followed up at approximately 1, 3, and 6 months post-procedure to assess safety and symptom improvement (using the Canadian Cardiovascular Society Angina Grading [CCS] and Seattle Angina Questionnaire [SAQ] scores). Additionally, after A-FLUX implantation in seven miniature pigs, tissue healing responses were evaluated via coronary sinus angiography and intravascular ultrasound, with histological assessments performed at 3 and 6 months.
Specific Research Results
Clinical Research
Among 12 clinical patients, 11 successfully received CSR implants, with one case aborted due to the complex anatomy of the coronary sinus.
No adverse events related to surgical instruments occurred.
At 6-month follow-up, compared with baseline, both CCS grade (3 vs 1; P < 0.001) and SAQ score (33.6 ± 13.4 vs 84.5 ± 10.2; P < 0.001) were significantly improved.
Preclinical Studies
The success rate of preclinical experimental surgery was 100%, with no perioperative or long-term complications.
Histological evaluation showed good local tissue response around the CSR, with ideal healing characteristics, and a fully endothelialized, mature neointima had formed.
All CSRs remained patent at the time of animal sacrifice, with no evidence of thrombosis.
Conclusion
A-FLUXIt has demonstrated good procedural safety in both preclinical and clinical studies and shown promising short-term clinical efficacy in patients with CMD and persistent symptoms of obstructive CAD.
