Key result
Surgical LVOT obstruction correction with mitral repair yields 100% technical success and early NYHA improvement.
Why the study?
In-hospital results of surgical treatment for patients with obstructive hypertrophic cardiomyopathy and severe mitral insufficiency were analyzed to assess outcomes and technical success.

Does surgical correction of LVOT obstruction and mitral valve repair improve symptoms in patients with obstructive hypertrophic cardiomyopathy and severe mitral insufficiency?
Surgical correction of LVOT obstruction combined with mitral valve repair is technically feasible and effectively improves early postoperative heart failure symptoms in patients with obstructive hypertrophic cardiomyopathy.
Lysenko et al. (2019) conducted an observational in obstructive hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (n=15). Surgical correction of LVOT obstruction and mitral valve repair was evaluated on Technical success and early postoperative NYHA class. Surgical correction of LVOT obstruction and mitral valve repair was technically successful in 100% of patients, with all achieving NYHA class I-II in the early postoperative period.
