INTERVENTRICULAR SEPTUM VISUALISATION TECHNIQUE IN ALCOHOL SEPTAL ABLATION

摘要

FIELD: medicine.;SUBSTANCE: to choose an endovascular therapeutic approach in the patients with hypertrophic obstructive cardiomyopathy, selective introduction of microbubbles-air-saturated physiologic saline (0.9% NaCl) in the septal branch of the anterior descending artery. The presented visualisation technique allows introducing ethanol in the septal arteries supplying the portion of the intraventricular septum that causes obstruction in the left ventricular outlet.;EFFECT: improvement of immediate and late results of the alcohol septal ablation.;1 ex, 6 dwg
