Official Title: Use of Cryoenergy to Faciltate Myectomy in Hypertrophic Obstructive Cardiomyopathy: Comparison With the Classical Approach
Brief Summary:
In some patients, septal hypertrophy extends more distally, from the subaortic portion of the septum to the midventricular portion. In these patients, classic transaortic surgical myectomy may not be effective in removing the midventricular obstruction, resulting in a suboptimal surgical outcome. These patients may present recurrence of symptoms and not have an improvement in the prognosis related to the treatment of hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, in some cases determining the need for reoperation. Since 2015, our…
