Alcohol Septal Ablation and Novel Interventional Techniques
摘要
For selected patients with drug-refractory symptoms due to obstructive hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, alcohol septal ablation is an effective therapy that leads to improvement in symptoms and objective measures of functional capacity. When performed in appropriate patients and by experienced operators, the outcomes of alcohol septal ablation can approach and match the gold standard of surgical myectomy. Optimization of the outcomes of alcohol septal ablation is essential for the longitudinal care of these patients.
