Surgical Treatment for Hypertrophic Obstructive Cardiomyopathy with Concomitant Mitral Valve Abnormalities: A Cohort of 26 Cases.

CONCLUSIONS: Concomitant mitral valve abnormality is not uncommon in HOCM. Septal myectomy can adequately expand the left ventricular outflow tract and abolish mitral regurgitation and systolic anterior motion of the mitral apparatus. Concomitant mitral valvuloplasty is indicated for severe congenital abnormalities or secondary lesions of the mitral valve, and the outcomes are satisfactory. PMID: 30604666 [PubMed - in process]
