Summary

This early study tests a device called the A-FLUX Reducer, which is implanted into a vein in the heart to help blood flow. It is for people with chest pain caused by problems in the heart's tiny blood vessels (microvascular dysfunction). The study will enroll 30 adults and focus mainly on safety and whether the device can be placed correctly.
