Abstract

Background: Anomalies of the mitral apparatus have been shown to contribute to left ventricular outflow obstruction in patients with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM). We report our 5-year single-center experience with a shallow myectomy procedure associated with transaortic mitral valve repair in a cohort of HCM patients. Methods: We studied 83 consecutive patients who underwent surgical treatment of symptomatic left ventricular outflow obstruction. In all study patients, a transaortic shallow septal myectomy was performed. Fibrous or muscular structures connecting the papillary muscles to the septum or free wall were resected, and fibrotic secondary chordae of the anterior mitral valve were cut selectively. Results: We report one death (1.2%) during hospitalization, no iatrogenic ventricular septal defects, and two (2.4%) mitral valve replacements. At discharge, no patients were in New York Heart Association (NYHA) Class III/IV, from 49 (59%) preoperatively. Mean maximal septal thickness decreased from 24 ± 6 to 16 ± 3 mm. Mean outflow gradient decreased from 93 ± 33 to 13 ± 11 mmHg. Grade 3 or 4 mitral regurgitation was noticed in one patient postoperatively, from 32 (39%) before surgery. Conclusions: Shallow septal myectomy associated with secondary mitral valve chordal cutting and papillary muscle mobilization provided excellent results offering adequate treatment of outflow obstruction.
