This report describes an uncommon case of hypertrophic obstructive cardiomyopathy (HOCM) accompanying infundibular stenosis of the right ventricle treated by alcohol ablation therapy, in a 28-yr-old male patient presenting with dyspnea on exertion. HOCM with infundibular stenosis was detected by echocardiogram and cardiac catheterization and patient has dynamic obstructions of both ventricular outflow tracts. We performed alcohol ablation therapy to improve clinical symptoms and to relieve dynamic obstructions of both ventricular outflow tracts. This is the first case in which HOCM with infundibular stenosis of the right ventricle was treated by alcohol ablation therapy.

Tetralogy of Fallot (TOF) is the most common congenital cyanotic heart disease and is characterized by an antero-superior deviation of the infundibular septum with a consequent large malaligned ventricular septal defect (VSD) and a pulmonary and sub-pulmonary (infundibular) stenosis. Surgical repair has been the cornerstone of treatment that is electively performed early in their lives between 3 and 6 months of age. With advancements in transcatheter interventions, the complete percutaneous repair of TOF, a complex disease with multiple treatable lesions, is becoming a conceivable possibility.

Article Synopsis
  • Tetralogy of Fallot (TOF) is the most common cyanotic heart defect, characterized by four key anomalies affecting heart function.
  • These anomalies include a large ventricular septal defect, obstruction in the right ventricular outflow tract, an aorta that overrides the septal defect, and right ventricular hypertrophy.
  • TOF can have variations involving pulmonary atresia, significant stenosis in pulmonary arteries, and may include additional conditions like atrial septal defects and abnormal coronary structures.

Published data estimate the prevalence of the vascular ring at approximately 7 per 10,000 live births. The association of a double aortic arch with a D-transposition of the great arteries has been rarely described in the literature. In this study, we report the prenatal diagnosis of a 28-year-old woman.

Five dogs and two cats with a diagnosis of double-chambered right ventricle or primary infundibular stenosis were referred to undergo a combined cutting balloon and high-pressure balloon technique. At admission five cases were asymptomatic, one had a history of syncope and one had signs of right-sided congestive heart failure. Each patient underwent a complete transthoracic echocardiogram, thoracic radiographs, an angiogram and the combined interventional procedure.
