Several treatment options to relieve obstruction have been suggested including medications to change the contractility of left ventricle, volume reduction of interventricular septum by surgical or non-surgical catheter-based intervention, and surgical correction of the abnormal mitral valve. Here we reported a case of 48-year-old man who presented with shortness of breath. After repeated alcohol septal ablation, mitral valve replacement was finally performed to achieve complete symptom relief.
