Abstract

Alcohol septal ablation [ASA] is a percutaneous, minimally invasive procedure performed by interventional cardiologists in carefully selected hypertrophic cardiomyopathy patients who meet strict criteria and are severely symptomatic despite maximal medical therapy [1, 2]. Ablation induces localized myocardial infarction and thinning of the basal ventricular septum, thereby leading to a reduction in dynamic outflow obstruction.
