The first alcohol septal ablations (ASA) in the treatment of patients with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy were reported by Sigwart (1) in 1995. Since then, ASA has been accepted as being comparable with myectomy in patients who do not show any relief of symptoms with medical therapy. The complications related to the procedure, including septal rupture/iatrogenic ventricular septal defect (2) were described in 26 years’ time. Here, we report a case of ventricular diverticule with thrombus, which was recognized 22 years after ASA.
