Luis Ortega-Paz interviews Jean-Michel Paradis about his EuroIntervention paper, "A-Flux: a novel self-expanding coronary sinus reducer for refractory angina."

This discussion delves into the rationale, design, and key outcomes of the inaugural use of the A-Flux device, implanted in a 67-year-old male with severe CAD, post-CABG in 2000, and suffering from refractory angina since 2015. The patient’s angiogram showed two occluded saphenous vein grafts to two marginals and a severe lesion in the LAD distal to the right mammary artery anastomosis.

Understand the unique features of the A-Flux compared to existing devices: it’s self-expandable, composed of nitinol, repositionable, recapturable, and features a simplified nose cone retrieval system due to its specific shape and mounting.

Explore how this innovative technology could revolutionize treatment for patients with microvascular angina, with a clinical trial slated for later this year.
