Interviews with Our TCT Faculty

Ahead of this year’s TCT symposium, we’ve asked our speakers the following:

1.What is the one message you want to communicate?
2. Your thoughts on the upcoming studies with A-FLUX Reducer therapy?

Here’s what they had to say:

Dr. Odayme Quesada

“We are increasingly recognizing that patients with angina and non obstructive disease have underlying Coronary Microvascular Dysfunction.”

“It is important to tell patients that are suffering with angina every day that we see them.”

“I am excited for the evidence for the A-FLUX therapy.”

Dr. Bruce Samuels
“The guidelines are really clear today and more centers are diagnosing CMD than ever before.”
“The development of clinical evidence for a specific therapy, an actual implant to treat these patients, I think it is really going to change practice.”
Dr. Samit Shah
“It is important to have therapeutic options for patients with Coronary Microvascular Dysfunction.”
“Importantly, we see an improvement in coronary flow reserve consistent with an improvement in patient symptoms.”
“Recent physiologic studies show encouraging evidence into the mechanism of coronary sinus reduction for the treatment of Coronary Microvascular Dysfunction.”
