   Alcohol septal ablation (ASA) is a minimally invasive heart procedure to treat hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM). [1]It is a percutaneous, minimally invasive procedure performed by an interventional cardiologist to relieve symptoms and improve functional status in eligible patients with severely symptomatic HCM who meet strict clinical, anatomic and physiologic selection criteria.

3. Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hypertrophic_cardiomyopathy

   When performed properly, an alcohol septal ablation induces a controlled heart attack, in which the portion of the interventricular septum that involves the left ventricular outflow tract is infarcted and will contract into a scar. There is debate over which people are best served by surgical myectomy, alcohol septal ablation, or medical therapy.

   Catheter ablation is a procedure that uses radio-frequency energy or other sources to terminate or modify a faulty electrical pathway from sections of the heart of those who are prone to developing cardiac arrhythmias such as atrial fibrillation, atrial flutter and Wolff-Parkinson-White syndrome.

5. Septal myectomy - Wikipedia

9. Minimally invasive direct coronary artery bypass surgery

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Minimally_invasive_direct...

   MIDCAB is sometimes referred to as "keyhole" heart surgery because the operation is analogous to operating through a keyhole. MIDCAB is a form of off-pump coronary artery bypass surgery (OPCAB), performed "off-pump" – without the use of cardiopulmonary bypass (the heart-lung machine).
