Alcohol Septal Ablation for Obstructive Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy

Interventional Cardiology Clinics, 2022
Over the past several decades, alcohol septal ablation has become an established therapy for selected patients, in whom there is clinical improvement in symptoms as well as objective functional capacity. Patient selection is essential to success, with continued emphasis on the procedure being performed by experienced operators as part of a ...

Alcohol Septal Ablation to Reduce Heart Failure

Interventional Cardiology Clinics, 2017
Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy is a commonly encountered inheritable cardiac disorder with variable phenotypic expression. Although most patients will have no or mild symptoms, 10% will develop heart failure symptoms refractory to medical management. This article discusses the mechanisms through which hypertrophic cardiomyopathy induces heart failure and ...

Alcohol septal ablation in hypertrophic obstructive cardiomyopathy

Cardiovascular Revascularization Medicine, 2012
An 80-year-old female with a history of coronary artery disease and post cardiac bypass surgery was admitted with increasing shortness of breath and fatigue. Electrocardiogram showed left ventricular hypertrophy with marked nonspecific ST-T changes. Transthoracic echocardiography demonstrated normal systolic function with asymmetric septal hypertrophy (

Alcohol Septal Ablation for Hypertrophic Obstructive Cardiomyopathy

Cardiology in Review, 1999
Until the early 1990s, surgical myectomy was the standard treatment for patients with hypertrophic obstructive cardiomyopathy and drug refractory symptoms. In the past few years, the potential therapeutic options have dramatically changed with the introduction of DDD-pacemaker implantation and percutaneous transluminal septal myocardial ablation by ...

Alcohol Septal Ablation for Obstructive Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy

The American Heart Hospital Journal, 2003
Treatment of obstructive hypertrophic cardiomyopathy remains challenging. Medical therapy, surgical therapy, and pacemaker therapy have been shown to be beneficial in some patients over the years. Alcohol septal ablation is a catheter-based intervention that causes a controlled infarct in the septum leading to a decrease in the left ventricular outflow
