Alcohol septal ablation to overcome shock

Acta Cardiologica, 2010
A 69-year-old man, known with hypertrophic obstructive cardiomyopathy (HOCM), was referred to our hospital because of progressive hypoxaemia and sepsis after admission for respiratory infection. Once at the emergency department, cardiopulmonary resuscitation, intubation and mechanical ventilation were necessary.

Alcohol Septal Ablation

2014
Alcohol septal ablation [ASA] is a percutaneous, minimally invasive procedure performed by interventional cardiologists in carefully selected hypertrophic cardiomyopathy patients who meet strict criteria and are severely symptomatic despite maximal medical therapy.

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 in patients with severe septal hypertrophy

Heart, 2019
Objective The current guidelines suggest alcohol septal ablation (ASA) is less effective in hypertrophic obstructive cardiomyopathy (HOCM) patients with severe left ventricular hypertrophy, despite acknowledging that systematic data are lacking.

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

Alcohol septal ablation after failed surgical myectomy

Catheterization and Cardiovascular Interventions, 2007
AbstractWe describe the case of a successful alcohol septal ablation in a patient with persistent gradient and severe symptoms postsurgical myectomy. The alcohol ablation of the thickened septum abolished the left ventricular outflow gradient and the systolic anterior motion (SAM) of the mitral valve.

Choice of Septal Reduction Therapies and Alcohol Septal Ablation

Cardiology Clinics, 2019
In patients with resting or provoked gradients and symptoms refractory to optimal medical therapy, alcohol septal ablation or surgical septal myectomy may be considered. Given the overall comparable outcomes after ablation and myectomy, there is, for many patients, equipoise between the two procedures.
