Abstract
Double-chamber right ventricle (DCRV) exhibits intracavitary outflow obstruction. We report the first case of percutaneous myocardial ablation of DCRV in a 73-year-old patient. An alcohol-induced conus branch occlusion provided the reduction of pressure gradient from 81 to 48 mm Hg and clinical improvement. This strategy may be an alternative therapy to surgery in the adult patients with DCRV. Cathet. Cardiovasc. Intervent. 49:97-101, 2000. Copyright 2000 Wiley-Liss, Inc.Entities:
