Key result
Interventional procedures successfully manage obstructive septal perforator branch stenosis in a small case series.
Why the study?
The clinical effectiveness and long-term outcomes of percutaneous treatment of larger septal perforator branch stenosis are not known.
Case Report (n=4)
This case series presents clinical experience in managing obstructive septal perforator branch stenosis, a technically challenging condition due to small vessel size.
Coronary artery disease of the septal perforator branches can lead to clinical ischemia and conduction abnormalities. Performing interventional procedures in these vessels is frequently impossible because they are small, which makes it difficult to approach them and to select appropriate equipment. Larger septal perforator branches have been treated percutaneously in a few patients; however, the clinical effectiveness and long-term outcomes are not known. We present our experience in managing obstructive septal perforator branch stenosis in 4 patients.

Saidi et al. (2017) conducted a case report in Obstructive septal perforator branch stenosis (n=4). Interventional procedures for septal perforator branch stenosis was evaluated. Management of obstructive septal perforator branch stenosis using interventional procedures was described in a series of 4 patients.
