Surgery for hypertrophic obstructive cardiomyopathy: alive and quite well.

چکیده

Dynamic obstruction to left ventricular (LV) outflow as a result of mitral valve systolic anterior motion is a potentially deleterious facet of hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM).1–4 In many patients, outflow obstruction is largely responsible for disabling symptoms of heart failure such as exertional dyspnea (often with chest pain), fatigue, and orthopnea.1,3 Consequently, treatment interventions that alleviate the subaortic gradient are critical therapeutic options for patients with HCM. Since the early 1960s, surgery (ie, ventricular septal myectomy) has been the primary treatment option for drug-refractory, severely symptomatic patients with the obstructive form of HCM.5–14

Apical hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (AHCM) is an uncommon type of HCM. The sudden cardiac death is less likely to occur in the patients inflicted with AHCM (2). Herein, we presented the case of a 29-year-old man ...

Minimally Invasive Trans-Mitral Septal Myectomy to Treat Hypertrophic Obstructive Cardiomyopathy

A 43-year-old man with symptomatic hypertrophic obstructive cardiomyopathy (HOCM) was admitted to our hospital with aggravated exertional dyspnea and successfully treated with robotic transmitral septal myectomy. Minimally invasive transmitral septal myectomy may be a feasible surgical option for the treatment of HOCM in selected cases as an alternative to transaortic myectomy.

Is septal ablation preferable to surgical myomectomy for obstructive hypertrophic cardiomyopathy? Surgical Myectomy Remains the Primary Treatment Option for Severely Symptomatic Patients With Obstructive Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy

The evolving alcohol septal ablation versus surgical myectomy controversy represents a crossroad in the management of obstructive hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM). Indeed, in this now polarized debate within the cardiovascular community, between the traditional and established (ie, surgery) and the new and percutaneous (ie, ablation), much is at stake for the HCM patient population. Furthermor...
