Virtual surgical myectomy as a planning tool for obstructive hypertrophic cardiomyopathy
نویسندگان
چکیده
Background Surgical myectomy is regarded as a gold standard treatment for Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy (HCM) and may be conducted using different approaches, depending on the location of the thickened heart muscle, to widen the outflow tract and thereby reduce outflow drag to favorably alter the natural course of HCM. We present a novel approach for patient-specific visualization of precise locations of left ventricular (LV) hypertrophy as well as virtual resection of obstructions to facilitate optimal surgical myectomy.

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.

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...

OBJECTIVES The purpose of this study was to describe the clinical and functional results of combined anterior mitral leaflet extension and myectomy in patients with hypertrophic obstructive cardiomyopathy. BACKGROUND Septal myectomy is the most commonly performed surgical procedure in patients with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy and left ventricular outflow tract obstruction. Because of the role...
متن کاملPercutaneous Septal Alcohol Ablation after Surgical Myectomy
Hypertrophic obstructive cardiomyopathy (HOCM) is a primary, usually familial and genetically fi xed myocardial hypertrophy, with dynamic left ventricular outfl ow tract obstruction. An alternative to surgical myectomy in the treatment of severe, drug refractory, HOCM is percutaneous transluminal septal myocardial ablation (PTSMA). We report a case of year old female patient who had the fi r...
متن کاملSpontaneous Closure of Iatrogenic Coronary Artery Fistula to Left Ventricle After Septal Myectomy for Hypertrophic Obstructive Cardiomyopathy
Cases of iatrogenic coronary artery fistulas draining into the left ventricle after surgical myectomy for hypertrophic obstructive cardiomyopathy have been published as sporadic reports. However, its management scheme and prognosis are not clear because of the low incidence. A 46-yr-old woman was hospitalized for evaluation of chest pain and shortness of breath for 3 months. Transthoracic echoc...
