ABSTRACT
Ventricular septal myectomy (SM) and alcohol septal ablation (ASA), 2 septal reduction therapies (SRTs), are recommended in symptomatic obstructive hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) despite maximum tolerated medical therapy. Contradictory results between the outcomes of these 2 types of therapies persist to this day. The objective of this study was to compare in-hospital and mid-term outcomes of SM versus ASA, at a nationwide level in France. We collected information on patients who underwent SRT for HCM using the French nationwide Programme de Médicalisation des Systèmes d'Information database between 2010 and 2019. A total of 1,574 patients were identified in the database, including 340 patients in the SM arm and 1,234 patients in the ASA arm. No difference during the median follow-up of 1.3 years between the 2 groups was noted in terms of mortality (adjusted incidence rate ratio 0.687, 95% confidence interval 0.361 to 1.309, p = 0.25). However, there was a significantly lower risk of all-cause stroke (adjusted incidence rate ratio 0.180, 95% confidence interval 0.058 to 0.554, p = 0.003) in the ASA group. In conclusion, in our "real-life" data from France, mortality after SRT in patients with HCM was similar after ASA or SM. Moreover, ASA was more widely used than SM despite European Society of Cardiology guidelines recommendations.
