Background: Current treatments for hypertrophic obstructive cardiomyopathy (HOCM), including medication, surgery, and alcohol septal ablation (ASA), have limitations in terms of efficacy and safety. To address these challenges, we developed the trans-coronary intra-septal radiofrequency ablation (TIRA) device.
Methods: This first-in-human trial was conducted to assess the efficacy and safety of the TIRA device.

Objectives: Transcoronary ablation of septal hypertrophy (TASH) and surgical myectomy are the recommended treatment options for patients with hypertrophic obstructive cardiomyopathy refractory (HOCM) when conventional drug treatment is not sufficient. We describe the application of radiofrequency (RF) energy via coronary guidewires in an animal model for selective occlusion of coronary side branches that mimics the principle of TASH.
Methods: Transcoronary guidewire ablation of coronary vessels was performed in 5 adult pigs under general anaesthesia in an animal cathlab after successful bench testing of the ablation settings.

Background: The recommended treatment for recurrent ventricular tachycardia in patients with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy that is not amenable to defibrillator implantation due to shock burden is radiofrequency ablation. In patients with deeply intramural foci of ventricular tachycardia, traditional unipolar ablation has a lower probability of success.
Case Summary: A 66-year-old Caucasian man was admitted with ventricular tachycardia, which recurred despite antiarrhythmic drugs.
