Long ‐term outcomes for different surgical strategies to treat left ventricular outflow tract obstruction in hypertrophic cardiomyopathy

ConclusionSeptal myectomy is a safe procedure resulting in symptomatic improvement in the majority of patients. The annual incidence of non‐fatal disease‐related complications after surgical treatment of LVOTO is relatively high. Patients who underwent MV replacements had poorer outcomes with less symptomatic benefit in spite of a similar reduction in LVOT gradients.
