[Occlusion of the first septal branch with microcoils in a patient with hypertrophic obstructive cardiomyopathy].
Nonsurgical septal reduction by induced septal infarction is one of the management options in the treatment of patients with hypertrophic obstructive cardiomyopathy. Good immediate and long-term clinical and hemodynamic results have been reported with this technique for occlusion of the first septal branch of the anterior descending coronary artery followed by ethanol infusion. This is the first report of a case in which nonsurgical septal reduction with microcoils has been attempted.
