   A, the catheter/DES device is inserted across the lesion. B, the balloon is inflated using saline fed through the catheter portion into the DES/Balloon component, expanding the DES and compressing it against the artery wall. C, the catheter and deflated balloon removed leaving the DES firmly embedded in the artery wall.

   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.

7. Minimaze procedure - Wikipedia
