Outcomes of Surgical Myectomy and Mitral Valve Repair for Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy With vs Without Marked Septal Hypertrophy Open
In patients with symptomatic HCM, even in those without marked septal hypertrophy, septal myectomy with a concomitant mitral valve apparatus intervention is safe and provides excellent relief of LVOT obstruction.
