The Safety and Influencing Factors of Liwen Procedure in The Treatment of Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy
Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
Liwen procedure is generally safe and effective in treating hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, but a small proportion of patients have complications after the operation.
The goal of this observational study is to explore the incidence of postoperative complications of the Liwen procedure in hypertrophic cardiomyopathy patients underwent Liwen procedure in Xijing Hospital. The main question it aims to answer are:
-
What is the incidence of complications in HCM patients underwent Liwen Procedure during postoperative hospitalization and a short-term follow-up period?
-
What is the relevant factors of complications in HCM patients who underwent Liwen Procedure during postoperative hospitalization and short-term follow-up period? Can the complications of surgical patients during postoperative hospitalization be predicted? Participants have been evaluated using a variety of medical examinations before they underwent Liwen Procedure. Variants collected from medical examination and case history were used to analyze the association with each postoperative complication.

Procedure: Percutaneous Intramyocardial Septal Radiofrequency Ablation for hypertrophic obstructive cardiomyopathy (Liwen Procedure)
Under transthoracic echocardiography (TTE) guidance, the puncture site is positioned at the apex. A guiding line is applied along the septal long axis and the radiofrequency ablation electrode needle(17G, Cool-tip™ RF Ablation System and Switching Controller;Medtronic, Minneapolis, MN, USA) pierced towards the hypertrophic anterior interventricular septum (AIVS) 8-10 mm from the subaortic valve. Each ablation lasts for up to 12 min and the ablation power is gradually increased from 30-40W. Then, the ablation needle is withdrawn 10 mm to prepare for the next application. Overall, 3-4 applications are performed in each patient. The ablation creates an area of thermal coagulative myocardial necrosis that appears as a hyperechogenic reflection detected by TTE. If deemed necessary, we repeat the procedure at the posterior interventricular septum (PIVS).

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures
- Postoperative Complications During Hospitalization [From date of procedure until the date of first documented occurrence of symptomatic hypotension, or date of dischargement from hospital, assessed up to 1 month.]
Complications including symptomatic postoperative hypotension observed during hospitalization after PIMSRA. The symptomatic postoperative hypotension is defined as systolic blood pressure lower than 90 mmHg documented by invasive or noninvasive blood pressure measurement accompanied by symptoms including dizziness, and cephalalgia, without regard to the duration of hypotension.
Secondary Outcome Measures
- Postoperative Complications During Follow-up Period [From date of dischargement until the date of first diagnosis of chronic hypotension or orthostatic hypotension, assessed up to 1 year.]
Complications including chronic hypotension or orthostatic hypotension observed during the follow-up period. Chronic hypotension is defined as mean systolic/diastolic blood pressure lower than 90/60 mmHg documented by ambulatory blood pressure monitoring of more than 23 hours. Orthostatic hypotension is defined as a frop of standing and mean sitting SBP ≥20 mm Hg or diastolic BP ≥10 mm Hg, with complaining of dizziness or fall.
