Non-surgical septal reduction for hypertrophic cardiomyopathy in childhood.
A case of non-surgical septal reduction (NSMR, NSRT) for hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) using absolute alcohol injection in a 3-year-old child is described. Septal ablation in children is controversial due to its unknown long-term consequence and arrythmogenic potential [1] [Denfield SW, Gajarski RJ, Towbin JA. Cardiomyopathies.
