How it works

Dehydrated alcohol is a tissue toxin that produces a myocardial infarction when injected through an intra-arterial catheter into a target septal vessel, which causes the hypertrophied septum to thin.

Source: US FDA prescribing information

Dosing overview

Inject small volumes over 1 to 2 minutes percutaneously into septal arterial branches, using the minimal dose necessary to achieve the desired reduction in peak left ventricular outflow tract pressure gradient. In most situations, a dose of 1 mL to 2 mL is sufficient. The maximum dose that should be used in a single procedure is 5 mL.

Warnings and precautions

Transient heart block: Transient heart block is common at the time of injection. A temporary pacing wire is routinely inserted to mitigate transient heart block. Persistent heart block: Approximately 10% of complete heart block events become permanent and require placement of a permanent pacemaker. Remove the temporary pacemaker lead if no episode of high-degree atrioventricular block occurs. Monitor the patient for heart failure, chest pain, and arrhythmias several days after the procedure.
