Summary: | Percutaneous intramyocardial septal radiofrequency ablation (PIMSRA) has been reported to be safe and effective at midterm follow-up to treat drug-refractory hypertrophic obstructive cardiomyopathy in a single center. However, data from other centers are lacking. This retrospective cohort study aimed to investigate the efficacy and safety of PIMSRA from another independent center.
PIMSRA was performed in 76 patients with hypertrophic obstructive cardiomyopathy in our center from April 2020 to June 2023. The primary outcome was the reduction of left ventricular outflow tract gradient after 6 months or more post-PIMSRA. Secondary outcomes were periprocedural major adverse clinical events. Sixty-one patients returned to the hospital for follow-up 6 to 30 (median, 14) months after the procedure. At the last follow-up of the 61 patients, the maximum septal thickness decreased from a median of 23.6 (interquartile range, 20.5-26.4) to 19.1 (interquartile range, 16.0-22.1) mm ( |
