[Long-term outcome of a patient with hypertrophic obstructive cardiomyopathy treated by alcohol septal transcoronary ablation].

Abstract

We report here the long term follow-up of the first french case, at our knowledge, of alcohol septal transcoronary ablation in March 1998 in Clinique Ambroise Paré in an 76 year-old woman. This patient was in NYHA III-IV functional class and at control outflow gradient was 100 mmHg. She was prior treated with high dosis of beta-blockers then DDD-pacemaker with no effects on symptoms. The technique used was the one described by Sigwart and al., with injection of 3 cm3 of ethyl alcohol in the first septal branch, after checking decrease of gradient during occlusion of septal branche with balloon angioplasty. After alcohol ablation, the gradient decreased immediately to 15 mmHg and disappeared at long-term follow up. Three years and half after the procedure, no complication occurred, the patient remains asymptomatic and the control echocardiography shows interventricular septal reduction of thickness from 22 to 12 mm.
