Alcohol septal ablation for hypertrophic obstructive cardiomyopathy and bilateral lung transplantation for idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis: a case report.

ABSTRACT:

Background

We present an uncommon case of a patient with hypertrophic obstructive cardiomyopathy and idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis. The case demonstrates the importance of pre-transplant cardiology workup and the need of interdisciplinary approach in diagnosing the cause of dyspnoea.

Case summary

The 52-year-old male patient was diagnosed with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis in 2019 and gradually became oxygen dependent due to progression of dyspnoea. Bilateral lung transplantation was recommended in 2021. During pre-transplant cardiology workup, the patient was diagnosed with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy with left ventricular outflow tract (LVOT) obstruction. Considering the high surgical risk of the patient, alcohol septal ablation was performed with subsequent decrease of LV
