Percutaneous Endocardial Septal Radiofrequency Ablation in Obstructive Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy

China National Center for Cardiovascular Diseases120 enrolled

Overview

This prospective, multicenter, single-arm objective performance criteria trial is designed to assess the efficacy and safety of the Percutaneous Endocardial Septal Radiofrequency Ablation (PESA) procedure in the treatment of obstructive hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (oHCM). The primary objectives include investigating: 1. the treatment efficacy and safety of PESA treatment in oHCM patients with either left ventricular outflow tract obstruction (LVOTO) or midventricular obstruction; 2. the impact of PESA treatment on the functional capacity, quality of life and long-term prognosis of oHCM patients with either LVOTO or midventricular obstruction.
