Transaortic septal myectomy: techniques and pitfalls

Abstract: Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) is the most common congenital cardiac disease, affecting up to 1 in 200 individuals. When it causes left ventricular outflow tract (LVOT) obstruction, treatment is indicated to reduce symptoms and the risk of sudden cardiac death. Pharmacologic therapy is the first line treatment, however if it fails, surgical myectomy or percutaneous ablation of the hypertrophic myocardium are the standard therapies to eliminate subaortic obstruction. Both surgical myectomy and percutaneous a… Show more

“…Heart tissue was obtained from 29 patients with classical AVS undergoing aortic valve replacement and septal, subvalvular left ventricular myocardial resection according to the Morrow technique 18 , 19 . Right atrial samples were taken from the right atrial appendage from the venous cannulation site 19 . Tissue was immediately fixed in 4.5% buffered formalin and embedded in paraffin.…”

“…They chose this approach for HOCM patients just because of suboptimal exposure through the traditional trans-aortic approach. As we all know, a satisfactory procedure for HOCM consists of three major goals: completely thickened septal muscle resection, dealing with the anterior mitral valve lea et in avoid of postoperative SAM, and release of abnormal papillary muscle and chordae attachments [8,9,11,12,13]. Compared with the traditional trans-aortic approach via the aortic incision, the trans-mitral approach via the base of the anterior mitral lea et provided a more clear panoramic exposure of the interventricular septum, making myectomy easily and avoiding heart block [14,15], through this approach, experienced surgeons could even identify the pale brous hinges subaortic hit caused by SAM [16,17,18].…”

“…Although there are many different surgical approaches and methods, the modi ed Morrow procedure through trans-aortic approach is still considered as the gold standard surgical treatment, showing a veri ed surgical result and good remission of symptoms for a long time [8,9,11]. The trans-mitral approach was rstly described in 1963 by Lillehei and Levy [10].…”
