| Sumario: | Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy is a unique myocardial disorder that can present in all ages from neonate to adults and has strong genetic basis. Several key features characterize hypertrophic cardiomyopathy. These include: the presence of left ventricular hypertrophy that can not be explained by another etiology, and left ventricular outflow tract obstruction secondary to systolic anterior motion of the anterior mitral valve leaflet with varying degrees of mitral valve regurgitation. Surgical septal myectomy continues to be the standard line of treatment when medical therapy fails or become intolerable. We summarize in the current chapter the technical tips and pitfall of septal myectomy, its alternatives/adjuncts and its outcomes. |
