   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alcohol_septal_ablation

   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. Septal myectomy - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Septal_myectomy

   The open-heart surgery entails removing a portion of the septum that is obstructing the flow of blood from the left ventricle to the aorta. [2] The most common alternatives to septal myectomies are treatment with medication (usually beta or calcium blockers) or non-surgical thinning of tissue with alcohol ablation. Ordinarily, septal myectomies ...
