Pregnancy
8.1 Pregnancy Risk Summary The concentrations of alcohol in blood after PTSMA were not measured, but dehydrated alcohol injection is not expected to increase significantly the systemic concentrations of endogenous alcohol following administration into a septal artery during percutaneous transluminal septal myocardial ablation. Maternal use is not expected to result in fetal exposure to the drug. Clinical Considerations Dehydrated alcohol injection for percutaneous transluminal septal myocardial ablation has not been evaluated in pregnant women and is not recommended during pregnancy.
When possible, the percutaneous transluminal septal myocardial ablation procedure should be postponed in women until the postpartum period. Data Animal reproduction studies have shown an adverse effect on the fetus and chronic fetal alcohol exposure is known to cause developmental defects in human. The developmental effects of acute ethanol exposure, such as from percutaneous transluminal septal myocardial ablation, have not been studied in pregnant or lactating women.
