Abstract
Background
Hypertrophic obstructive cardiomyopathy (HOCM) is a hereditary myocardial disease. Percutaneous endocardial septal radiofrequency ablation (PESA) is an innovative approach for treating HOCM. Consequently, we present the outcomes of the PESA for HOCM.
Methods
This study included 20 patients with HOCM who received PESA. The primary outcomes include the control rate of the left ventricular outflow tract gradient (LVOTG) at rest and following the Valsalva maneuver and changes in New York Heart Association (NYHA) function. Secondary outcomes include changes in interventricular septal thickness (IVST), left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF), pulmonary artery systolic pressure (PASP), and N-terminal pro-B-type natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP). In addition, this study assessed the incidence of complications during the perioperative period, the operation time of the PESA, and hospital stays.
Results
After 2 years, the LVOTG for patients decreased 54% at rest and 55% after the Valsalva maneuver. In addition, the NYHA functional index increased from 3.25 ± 0.55 to 1.95 ± 0.88, and 15 patients (75%) achieved NYHA Class I/Ⅱ. The LVEF of patients significantly increased from 63.95 ± 6.29% to 65.75 ± 3.39%, the PASP decreased from 32.50 (31.00, 40.50) mmHg to 23.50 (19.50, 28.50) mmHg, the NT-proBNP decreased from 388.90 (278.80, 1039.00) ng/mL to 227.4 (121.6, 499.6) ng/mL, and the IVST decreased from 17.20 ± 3.72 mm to 15.80 ± 3.14 mm. Importantly, no patients needed pacemaker treatment. The operative time for the PESA was 186.63 ± 22.47 min, and the median postoperative hospital stay for patients was 10.00 days.
Conclusions
PESA could reduce the LVOTG with the advantages of a low risk of arrhythmias, minimal trauma, rapid postoperative recovery, and shorter hospital stays.
期刊介绍:
Catheterization and Cardiovascular Interventions is an international journal covering the broad field of cardiovascular diseases. Subject material includes basic and clinical information that is derived from or related to invasive and interventional coronary or peripheral vascular techniques. The journal focuses on material that will be of immediate practical value to physicians providing patient care in the clinical laboratory setting. To accomplish this, the journal publishes Preliminary Reports and Work In Progress articles that complement the traditional Original Studies, Case Reports, and Comprehensive Reviews. Perspective and insight concerning controversial subjects and evolving technologies are provided regularly through Editorial Commentaries furnished by members of the Editorial Board and other experts. Articles are subject to double-blind peer review and complete editorial evaluation prior to any decision regarding acceptability.
