New approach to septal ablation: glue (cyanoacrylate) septal ablation

Catheter Cardiovasc Interv. 2007 Jun 1;69(7):1021-5. doi: 10.1002/ccd.21003.

Abstract

Alcohol septal ablation is an alternative way of treatment in hypertrophic obstructive cardiomyopathy patients who are refractory to medical treatment. This case report describes a new way of septal ablation with glue (cyanoacrylate) in a HOCM patient who has extensive collateral to posterior descending coronary artery which precludes alcohol ablation.
