Table 2.
Myectomy | Alcohol Ablation | P Value* | |
---|---|---|---|
Length of stay, d | 6.4±3.3 | 5.8±5.6 | 0.18 |
Nonfatal procedural complications | |||
Pacemaker before discharge without predisposing conditions | 19 (5.0) | 6 (6.1) | 0.62 |
CVA, n (%) | 5 (1.3) | 0 (0) | 0.59 |
AKI requiring dialysis, n (%) | 3 (0.8) | 0 (0) | 1.0 |
Tamponade, n (%) | 6 (1.6) | 1 (1.0) | 0.67 |
VSD, n (%) | 3 (0.8) | 0 (0) | |
Nonfatal cardiac arrest, n (%) | 7 (1.9) | 1 (1.0) | 0.56 |
30-d mortality | 3 (0.8) | 0 (0) | 1.0 |
Values are mean±SD or n (%). AKI indicates acute kidney injury; CVA, cerebrovascular accident; and VSD, ventricular septal defect.
P value is for comparison of myectomy vs alcohol ablation.
