Abstract

In this study, we aimed to meta-analyze all available data to provide a holistic, well-powered assessment of the effect of PIMSRA on LVOT gradient, LVEF, and anterior and posterior IVS thickness. PubMed, Cochrane Central, Embase, and Scopus were systematically searched from inception till October 2022 for published clinical trials assessing the efficacy of PIMSRA in patients with HCM using the keywords “PIMSRA” OR “Percutaneous Intramyocardial Septal Radiofrequency Ablation” OR “Liwen procedure. All five studies reported a change in LVOT gradient from the baseline. Integrated analysis showed no significant change from baseline (MD: -69.506; 95% CI: -77.047, -61.966; P = 0.089) (I² = 50.4%). Subgroup analyses based on follow-up revealed that there was no significant difference noted at 6 months according to data from 2 studies (MD: -65.351; 95% CI; -85.253, -45.450; P = 0.181) (I²= 44.1%) however data from 3 studies at one year follow up did reveal a significant difference from baseline (MD: -71.010; 95% CI: -80.262, -61.758; P = 0.047) (I² = 67.2%). Only three studies reported changes in LVEF from the baseline. This single-arm meta-analysis of 284 patients gathered from 5 clinical trials suggested that overall, after PIMSRA, LVOT gradient was reduced, and LVEF was slightly decreased. Additionally, no significant changes were observed in the anterior and posterior IVS thicknesses.
