IRVINE, CA / ACCESSWIRE / April 23, 2021 / Hancock Jaffe Laboratories, Inc. (NASDAQ:HJLI), a developer of medical devices that restore cardiac and vascular health, today announced that Dr. Jorge Hernando Ulloa, the Principal Investigator for HJLI's first-in-human VenoValve® study in Bogota, Colombia, presented one year data this past week at the Charing Cross International Symposium. The Charing Cross International Symposium is the longest-running vascular and endovascular global symposium in Europe and is attended by the world's leading experts in vascular and endovascular medicine.
Patients in the first-in-human study demonstrated significant improvement in all study endpoints including an aggregate 54% improvement in reflux (the backwards flow of blood), a 56% improvement in disease manifestations, as measured by venous clinical severity scores ("rVCSS"), and a 76% improvement in pain, as measured on a visual analog scale ("VAS"), all one-year post VenoValve surgery when compared to pre-surgery levels. Patients also experienced dramatic venous ulcer healing, with no ulcer recurrences. Quality of life scores for the first-in-human patients showed statistically significant improvement as measured by VEINES, and safety incidences were non-device related and were minimal.
