Dr Sanjeev Chaudhary, Chairman- Cardiology, Marengo Asia Hospitals, Gurugram and his dedicated team performed a complex case of Alcohol Septal Ablation to treat Hypertrophic Obstructive Cardiomyopathy (HOCM). In this genetic disease, there is thickening of the left ventricle in the heart which results in contraction of the left ventricle (LV), responsible for pumping oxygen-rich blood into the aorta.
Alcohol Septal Ablation, a non surgical procedure was performed in which Absolute Alcohol is to be injected in the septal artery. This is a tricky procedure involving a lot of expertise as the cardiologists create controlled Myocardial Infarction (MI), colloquially known as heart attack to reduce the thickness of the heart muscle while treating the defect. The operation was carried out successfully while ensuring the highest standards of safety and clinical technology.
