Open full text 0 citations

Abstract

For more than 20 years, alcohol septal ablation (ASA) has shown to be a safe and effective procedure in the treatment of hypertrophic obstructive cardiomyopathy (HOCM), with results similar to those of surgical myectomy.To our knowledge, we present the first documented case of a HOCM with a very high left ventricular outflow tract (LVOT) gradient (>250 mm Hg) managed with ASA, with a decrease of > 50% of gradient after the procedure.
