AIMS To evaluate acute and long-term symptomatic, haemodynamic (at rest and during exercise) and electrophysiological results of transcoronary ablation of septal hypertrophy (TASH), a catheter interventional treatment for hypertrophic obstructive cardiomyopathy. METHODS AND RESULTS Sixty-two transcoronary ablations of septal hypertrophy were performed by injection of 4.6+/-2.6 ml 96% ethanol into septal branches in 50 patients with hypertrophic obstructive cardiomyopathy and severe symptoms. Serial left and right heart catheterization, transoesophageal echocardiography and electrophysiological investigations were repeated 2 weeks and 7+/-1 months (n=37) after intervention. Transcoronary ablation of septal hypertrophy led to a reduction in septal thickness, sustained elimination of the outflow obstruction (51+/-41 vs 6+/-10 mmHg at rest, P<0.001; 134+/-48 vs 28+/-32 mmHg, P<0.001, post-extrasystolic), a decrease in left ventricular filling pressures at rest and during exercise and a pronounced clinical improvement. There was no evidence for the creation of an arrhythmogenic substrate as assessed by serial programmed electrical stimulation in 39 patients. However, permanent high-grade atrioventricular block occurred in 17% of the patients. There were two early, but no late deaths during a mean follow-up time of 10. 6+/-5.6 months. CONCLUSION Transcoronary ablation of septal hypertrophy is a promising new treatment for hypertrophic obstructive cardiomyopathy in patients with severe symptoms. It should now be compared with alternative treatment strategies in prospective randomized studies.

BACKGROUND The release kinetics of copeptin in patients with acute myocardial infarction (AMI) have been difficult to establish. METHODS We analyzed the release kinetics of copeptin in patients with hypertrophic obstructive cardiomyopathy undergoing transcoronary ablation of septal hypertrophy (TASH) as a model of AMI. We included 21 consecutive patients who underwent TASH. Blood samples were...
