Clinical Outcomes of PIMSRA Treating for Hypertrophic Obstructive Cardiomyopathy: A Large-Sample Study

With the real-time guidance of TTE, a radiofrequency electrode needle was percutaneously inserted via the transapical intramyocardial approach into the hypertrophied septum for thermal ablation. Intraoperative TTE and 12-lead electrocardiographic monitoring were employed to assess the ablation extent and prevent vascular and cardiac conduction bundle injury. The success of ablation was confirmed by evaluating contrast medium perfusion defects in the ablated areas and comparing them with the preprocedural hypertrophied septum.
