Sequential Alcohol Septal Ablation to Resolve LV Outflow Tract Obstruction After Transcatheter Mitral Valve Replacement [PDF]
Left ventricular outflow tract obstruction (LVOTO) is a notorious complication of transcatheter mitral valve replacement (TMVR). Computed tomography–derived simulations can predict neo-LVOTO post-TMVR, whereas alcohol septal ablation can mitigate neo ...

Alcohol Septal Ablation after Suboptimal Surgical Septal Myomectomy [PDF]
•The ideal therapy for HCM after failed surgical myomectomy is not established.•ASA after failed surgical myomectomy is a safe and effective therapeutic option.•Agitated saline is a safe alternative when contrast agent is not available.

Hypertrophic obstructive cardiomyopathy with left ventricle outflow tract chordae insertion: Surgery or alcohol septal ablation? A case report [PDF]
Key Clinical Message Anomalous insertion of chordae is a rare disease that could be associated with hypertrophic obstructive cardiomyopathy (HOCM), but clinical and echocardiographic diagnoses tend to be delayed. Alcohol septal ablation has emerged as an

Alternative ‘block and delivery’ approach for alcohol septal ablation in hypertrophic cardiomyopathy with ischemia: a case report [PDF]
Background Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) is a prevalent hereditary cardiac disorder characterized by marked myocardial hypertrophy, which may lead to impaired diastolic function and relative myocardial ischemia.

Alcohol septal ablation – An evolving procedure
Alcohol septal ablation was first reported by Sigwart in 1985.1 Since then the use of this procedure has increased exponentially and today the number of alcohol ablations performed far exceed that of surgical myectomy.2 Alcohol septal ablation has been reported from Indian centres since the mid-1990s.3 ...
