Published: May 2024

Background: We developed a novel minimally invasive transapical beating-heart septal myectomy (TA-BSM) procedure for patients with midventricular obstruction (MVO), without the aid of cardiopulmonary bypass. This study aims to describe the TA-BSM procedure for the relief of MVO and to detail the clinical outcomes in these patients.

Methods: Sixty-one patients receiving TA-BSM for MVO were included: isolated MVO (n = 12) and combined MVO and subaortic obstruction (n = 49). We reviewed the electronic medical record to collect information on preoperative, intraoperative, and postoperative parameters.

Results: The intraventricular pressure gradient after the resection was largely attenuated. On the catheter measurement, the median resting and provoked gradient decreased by 29.0 and 71.0 mm Hg, respectively. Likewise, the resting intraventricular gradient was successfully reduced from 58.0 to 11.0 mm Hg, and the maximal intraventricular gradient was reduced from 88.0 to 20.0 mm Hg at 6 months follow-up. In addition, all patients showed significantly improved MR and 37 of 42 patients with preoperative MR grade ≥2+ showed MR grade ≤1+ after TA-BSM. During the follow-up, no death was observed and no one had HCM-related rehospitalization. All patients reported improvement in symptoms and the mean New York Heart Association class improved from 3.0 (IQR, 3.0-3.0) preoperatively to 1.0 (IQR, 1.0-1.0) at 6 months follow-up.

Conclusions: The TA-BSM procedure is a valuable therapy to relieve MVO, improving hemodynamics and providing satisfactory clinical outcomes. The procedure can also preserve favorable outcomes for patients with MVO and concomitant subaortic obstruction.

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.

Objectives: This study aims to investigate the short-term effects of transapical beating-heart septal myectomy (TA-BSM) on left atrial (LA) anatomy and function and its association with clinical indicators in patients with hypertrophic obstructive cardiomyopathy (HOCM).

Methods: A total of 105 HOCM patients who received TA-BSM were included. Clinical and comprehensive echocardiographic data were obtained before surgery, at discharge, and 3 months after myectomy.

Background: Aortic stenosis (AS) in combination with left ventricular outflow tract obstruction (LVOTO) has occasionally been reported. However, making a precise diagnosis and successfully treating this combination is challenging due to the hemodynamic interaction between the two conditions.

Case Summary: A 56-year-old male patient who had been diagnosed with severe AS and asymmetric left ventricular hypertrophy underwent aortic valve replacement (AVR) and a conventional septal myectomy.

Objectives: A novel transapical beating-heart septal myectomy (TA-BSM) procedure was performed for patients with latent obstruction through the left intercostal incision and without cardiopulmonary bypass. This study aims to demonstrate the experience of the TA-BSM procedure for patients with latent obstruction and compare outcomes to patients with resting obstruction.

Methods: We studied 120 symptomatic hypertrophic obstructive cardiomyopathy patients (33 with latent obstruction and 87 with resting obstruction) who underwent TA-BSM.
