Glue septal ablation: A promising alternative to alcohol septal ablation
Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) is defined as myocardial hypertrophy in the absence of another cardiac or systemic disease capable of producing the magnitude of present hypertrophy. In about 70% of patients with HCM, there is left ventricular outflow tract (LVOT) obstruction (LVOTO) and this is known as obstructive type of hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HOCM). Cases refractory to medical treatm...
متن کاملSeptal myectomy after failed septal alcohol ablation.
Despite septal myectomy remaining the gold standard septal reduction therapy for hypertrophic obstructive cardiomyopathy (HOCM), there has been a disproportionate use of alcohol septal ablation (ASA) worldwide. Absolute resolution of left ventricular outflow tract (LVOT) obstruction with ASA is not achieved in a substantial proportion of patients. The mechanisms of failure from ASA are partiall...
متن کاملAlcohol Septal Ablation for Hypertrophic Obstructive Cardiomyopathy
Since its original description in 1994, alcohol septal ablation (ASA) has emerged as a minimally invasive modality for treatment of hypertrophic obstructive cardiomyopathy compared to surgical myomectomy. This catheter-based intervention relies on the injection of absolute alcohol into the septal perforator to induce a controlled infarction of the hypertrophied septum and consequently abolish t...
متن کاملHypertrophic obstructive cardiomyopathy: alcohol septal ablation
Alcohol septal ablation (ASA) was introduced in 1994 as an alternative to septal myectomy for patients with hypertrophic obstructive cardiomyopathy and symptoms refractory to medical therapy. This procedure alleviates symptoms by producing a targeted, limited infarction of the upper interventricular septum, resulting in an increase in left ventricular outflow tract (LVOT) diameter, a decrease i...
متن کاملPercutaneous Septal Alcohol Ablation after Surgical Myectomy
Hypertrophic obstructive cardiomyopathy (HOCM) is a primary, usually familial and genetically fi xed myocardial hypertrophy, with dynamic left ventricular outfl ow tract obstruction. An alternative to surgical myectomy in the treatment of severe, drug refractory, HOCM is percutaneous transluminal septal myocardial ablation (PTSMA). We report a case of year old female patient who had the fi r...
