Survival After Alcohol Septal Ablation for Obstructive Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy

Abstract

In this nonrandomized study of carefully selected patients undergoing septal ablation by experienced operators in a tertiary referral HCM center, long-term survival was favorable and similar to that of an age- and sex-matched general population, and to patients undergoing surgical myectomy, as well, without an increased risk of sudden cardiac death.
