Short‐term results of alcohol septal ablation as a bail‐out strategy to treat severe left ventricular outflow tract obstruction after transcatheter mitral valve replacement in patients with severe mitral annular calcification

Abstract

Percutaneous alcohol ablation provides acute relief of TMVR-induced LVOT obstruction when septal hypertrophy is a contributing factor. This may be a safer alternative to bail-out surgery in this extremely high-risk patient population. © 2017 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
