Abstract

Sigmoid shaped septum is not a common cause of left ventricle dynamic obstruction. The treatment of symptomatic patients in this patient group is not clear yet. We describe a case with LVOT obstruction due to sigmoid-shaped septum, in which alcohol septal ablation improved LVOT gradient and relieved her clinical symptoms.

SİGMOİD ŞEKÎLLİ SEPTUMA BAĞLI SOL VENTRİKÜL OBSTRÜKSİYONU OLAN BİR HASTANIN SEPTAL ALKOL ABLASYON İLE TEDAVİSİ

Abstract

Sigmoid şekilli septum sol ventrikül çıkış yolu obstruksiyonunun sık görülen bir sebebi değildir. Bu hasta grubunda semptomatik hastaların tedavisi henüz net değildir. Biz septal alkol ablasyonu ile sol ventrikül çıkış yolu gradientinde azalma ve semptomlarda düzelme sağlanan, sigmoid şekilli septuma bağlı sol ventrikül çıkış-yolu obstruksiyonu olan bir vakayı sunduk.

Keywords
