ABSTRACT & COMMENTARY

Transcatheter Myotomy for Left Ventricular Outflow Tract Obstruction

Initial experience with a new transcutaneous transcatheter electrosurgery device using intramyocardial guidewires to create left ventricular upper septum myotomies to enlarge the outflow tract in symptomatic patients with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, and potentially to enhance transcatheter left heart valve replacement when outflow tract obstruction compromises the procedure, is described in this report from a single center.
