Alcohol Ablation in Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy: Localization and Quantification of Target Septal Artery-dependent Myocardium With 3-Dimensional Echocardiography.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Alcohol septal ablation (ASA) aims to reduce the subaortic gradient in patients with symptomatic hypertrophic obstructive cardiomyopathy using alcohol to induce septal necrosis. Our aim was to describe the usefulness of 3-dimensional (3D) transthoracic echocardiography (TTE) with contrast in the localization and quantification of the extent of septal artery-dependent territory. From 2012 onward, we prospectively enrolled 6 patients who then underwent ASA (Table). One patient was excluded due to

گزارش یک مورد Percutaneous Transluminal Septal Myocardial Ablation در کاردیومیوپاتی هیپرتروفیک
A number of patients with severe obstruction due to hypertrophic cardiomyopathy have derived benefit at least over the short-term from inventional infarction of a portion of the interventricular septum by the infusion of alcohol into a selectively catheterized septal artery , with reduction of the outflow gradient and improvement in symptoms . This paper contains success...
متن کاملApical myocardial injury caused by collateralisation of a septal artery during ethanol septal ablation.
In patients who are refractory to medical treatment of hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, surgical myomectomy or percutaneous transluminal alcohol septal myocardial ablation (PTSMA) is appropriate, with both the procedures having comparable results. In PTSMA ethanol is selectively injected into septal arteries supplying the hypertrophied septal myocardium. The authors describe a case of apical myocar...
متن کاملIntra-cardiac echocardiography in alcohol septal ablation: a prospective comparative study against trans-thoracic echocardiography
Alcohol septal ablation (ASA) in hypertrophic obstructive cardiomyopathy reduces left ventricular outflow tract gradients. A third of patients do not respond; inaccurate localisation of the iatrogenic infarct can be responsible. Transthoracic echocardiography (TTE) using myocardial contrast can be difficult in the laboratory environment. Intra-cardiac echocardiography (ICE) provides high-qualit...
متن کاملIntervention in HCM: patient selection, procedural approach and emerging techniques in alcohol septal ablation
Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) is a highly heterogeneous disease with varied patterns of hypertrophy. Basal septal hypertrophy and systolic anterior motion (SAM) of the mitral valve (MV) are the key pathophysiological components to left ventricular outflow tract (LVOT) obstruction in HCM. LVOT is associated with higher morbidity and mortality in patients with HCM. Percutaneous septal reducti...
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...
