Percutaneous Transluminal Septal Myocardial Ablation in Hypertrophic Obstructive Cardiomyopathy

Abstract

PTSMA is a promising nonsurgical technique for reduction of symptoms and LVOTG in hypertrophic obstructive cardiomyopathy. MCE has been shown to be a useful addition to probatory balloon occlusion for target vessel selection. Prospective, long-term observations of larger populations and a comparison with the established forms of therapy are necessary to determine the definitive significance of PTSMA.
