Magnetic resonance imaging of microvascular obstruction in hypertrophic obstructive cardiomyopathy after percutaneous transluminal septal myocardial ablation

Reporter: Aviva Lev-Ari, PhD, RN

 

The aim of this study is to assess the relationship between the location of MO and the improvement in symptoms and pressure gradient after percutaneous transluminal septal myocardial ablation (PTSMA) in patients with HOCM. The location of MO identified by MRI may be related to the effectiveness of PTSMA at the short–term follow–up. The left–sided MO is related to complete improvement in clinical symptoms and pressure gradients.
