Supports acute hemodynamic effects of PTSMA in symptomatic HOCM; leaves open durability and clinical outcomes in prospective trials.
Does percutaneous transluminal septal myocardial ablation (PTSMA) by alcohol injection improve acute haemodynamics and left ventricular function in patients with symptomatic hypertrophic obstructive cardiomyopathy?
Alcohol septal ablation acutely reduces systolic function but promptly improves diastolic function, maintaining overall hemodynamics in patients with symptomatic HOCM.
Steendijk et al. (2008) studied this question.
