Unlabelled: Surgical septal myectomy is the treatment of choice for patients of hypertrophic cardiomyopathy who are symptomatic despite maximal medical therapy. Residual obstruction results in the persistence of symptoms and poorer outcomes. The length (depth) of the septum excised as far towards the apex is important. A combined approach of trans-aortic and trans-apical is needed to achieve this in specific cases with associated mid-cavity obstruction. We present a case of a complex long-segment septal hypertrophy which underwent a successful septal reduction using a combined trans-aortic and trans-apical approach.

Background: Description of the learning curve for transapical beating heart septal myectomy (TA-BSM) helps to understand the potential for wider adaptability. The authors elaborate and examine a competency-based training assessment for TA-BSM that could serve to disseminate septal myectomy expertise.

Materials And Methods: Data on 177 consecutive patients who underwent the TA-BSM for hypertrophic obstructive cardiomyopathy (HOCM) between April 2022 and June 2023 was collected prospectively, which was registered on ClinicalTrials.

Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) is a heterogeneous group of heart muscle disorders that affects millions, with an incidence from 1 in 500 to 1 in 200. Factors such as genetics, age, gender, comorbidities, and environmental factors may contribute to the course of this disease. Diagnosis of HCM has improved significantly in the past few decades from simple echocardiographic evaluations to a more complex, multimodal approach embracing advanced imaging, genetic, and biomarker studies.
