Surgical Myectomy
Surgical septal myectomy is the gold standard for relief of symptoms for patients who do not experience relief of symptoms from medications[1] [2] [3] [4] [5] [6]. It has been performed successfully for more than 25 years. Surgical septal myectomy uniformly decreases left ventricular outflow tract obstruction and improves symptoms, and in experienced centers has a surgical mortality of 1%. It involves a midline thoracotomy (general anesthesia, opening the chest, and cardiopulmonary bypass) and removing a portion of the interventricular septum[1]. Surgical myectomy resection focused just on the subaortic septum, to increase the size of the outflow tract to reduce Venturi forces may be inadequate to abolish systolic anterior motion (SAM) of the anterior leaflet of the mitral valve. With this limited sort of resection the residual mid-septal bulge still redirects flow posteriorly: SAM persists because flow still gets behind the mitral valve. It is only when the deeper portion of the septal bulge is resected that flow is redirected anteriorly away from the mitral valve, abolishing SAM [2] [7]. With this in mind, a modification of the Morrow myectomy termed extended myectomy, mobilization and partial excision of the papillary muscles has become the excision of choice [2] [8] [9] [10]. In selected patients with particularly large redundant mitral valves, anterior leaflet plication may be added to complete separation of the mitral valve and outflow [10] [11].
Cardiac transplantation
Cardiac transplantation can be performed in patients with HOCM and has been associated with better post-operative survival than those patients transplanted for ischemic cardiomyopathy [12].
In cases that are refractory to all other forms of treatment, cardiac transplantation is an option.
