BackgroundThe aim of this study was to assess the impact of septal thickness on long-term outcomes of surgical treatment for hypertrophic obstructive cardiomyopathy (HOCM) and correction of mitral subvalvular anomalies.MethodsSixty-six consecutive ...

Septal myectomy after failed septal alcohol ablation [PDF]
Despite septal myectomy remaining the gold standard septal reduction therapy for hypertrophic obstructive cardiomyopathy (HOCM), there has been a disproportionate use of alcohol septal ablation (ASA) worldwide. Absolute resolution of left ventricular outflow tract (LVOT) obstruction with ASA is not achieved in a substantial proportion of patients.

Objective: Atrial fibrillation is the most prevalent persistent arrhythmia in patients with hypertrophic obstructive cardiomyopathy. Comparative analyses of the safety and effectiveness of septal myectomy with and without surgical ablation are limited ...

Transmitral Septal Myectomy for Hypertrophic Obstructive Cardiomyopathy [PDF]
Intrinsic abnormalities of the mitral valve are common in patients with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy and may need to be addressed at operation.Consecutive patients undergoing transmitral septal myectomy were retrospectively reviewed. The ventricular septum was exposed through a left atriotomy, and the anterior leaflet of the mitral valve was detached ...

Background. Mitral subvalvular procedures have acquired a major role during hypertrophic obstructive cardiomyopathy (HOCM) surgery. However, few studies have focused on characterizing the clinical feature of HOCM patients without intrinsic mitral valve ...

Feasibility of 2D antiscatter grid concept for flat panel detectors: preliminary investigation of primary transmission properties [PDF]
Suppressing the effects of scattered radiation in flat panel detector, FPD, based CBCT still remains to be a challenge. To address the scatter problem, we have been investigating the feasibility of a two dimensional antiscatter grid (2D ASG) concept for FPDs.
