Septal myectomy: cut, coil, or boil? [PDF]
Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HOCM) is characterized by asymmetric septal hypertrophy with outflow tract obstruction in approximately one-third of patients. However, recent studies suggest that obstruction may be present in up to 70% of patients with enhanced sympathetic activation under exercise conditions.1 Clinical features are dyspnoea on exertion ...

Septal myectomy in the era of genetic testing
Hypertrophic obstructive cardiomyopathy (HOCM) is one of the most common genetic cardiac diseases and encompasses an array of clinical presentations. Little is known about the impact of genetic background on outcomes after septal myectomy (SM). The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of specific genetic mutations on midterm outcomes in adults ...

Minimally Invasive Septal Myectomy for Hypertrophic Obstructive Cardiomyopathy [PDF]
Surgical septal myectomy is the treatment of choice for patients with symptomatic hypertrophic obstructive cardiomyopathy refractory to medications. This report describes our minimally invasive approach for performing a septal myectomy via a ministernotomy that has been used at our institution for more than a decade. In particular, patient preparation,

Virtual septal myectomy for preoperative planning in hypertrophic cardiomyopathy [PDF]
Although septal myectomy (SM) is the preferred treatment for medication-refractory obstructive hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, the procedure remains subjective. We have developed a virtual myectomy (VM) technique using 3-dimensional reconstruction of gated cardiac computed tomography (CT) to assist intraoperative objective assessment of the adequacy of ...

What is the role of septal myectomy in aortic stenosis?
Asymmetric basal septal hypertrophy is present in 10% of patients with hemodynamic significant aortic valve stenosis. From the surgeon's standpoint, it represents a dilemma as it may be implicated in suboptimal short and long-term results after aortic ...

Extended septal myectomy for midventricular obstruction in hypertrophic cardiomyopathy
Midventricular obstruction (MVO) is a rare form of hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM). While surgical treatment for HCM is among the most technically challenging cardiac operations for acquired disease, surgery for MVO is rarely reported.

Background. Septal myectomy is currently the «gold» standard of surgical treatment of patients with obstructive hypertrophic cardiomyopathy. In some cases, isolated septal myectomy does not eliminate SAM-induced mitral insufficiency.
