| Summary: | <p>Abstract</p> <p>Background</p> <p>Mid-ventricular obstructive hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (MVOHC) is a rare type of cardiomyopathy. The diagnosis is based on the hourglass appearance on the left ventriculogram and the presence of pressure gradient between apical and basal chamber of the ventriculum on the hemodynamic assessment.</p> <p>Case presentation</p> <p>The present case represents successful percutaneous treatment with septal ablation to patient with MVOHC associated with systolic anterior motion of the mitral valve and obstruction at both the mid-ventricular and outflow levels.</p> <p>Conclusion</p> <p>Alcohol septal ablation has been proposed as less invasive alternatives to surgery in patients with MVOHC.</p> |
