Abstract

Background: Hypertrophic obstructive cardiomyopathy is a type of cardiomyopathy. The presence of a pressure gradient between the mid ventricle and LVOT on the hemodynamic evaluation revealed by echocardiography serves as the basis for the diagnosis.

Objective: To Perform Alcohol Septal Ablation in patient with Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy

Method: Under both Echocardiography and Fluoroscopy first septal branch of LAD is identified and alcohol is injected to cause necrosis of the selected myocardial tissue to reduce the outflow gradient.

Result: A reduction of the outflow gradient measured after the procedure indicates that it was
successful.
