Transmitral Septal Myectomy and Mitral Valve Surgery via Right Mini-Thoracotomy [1]
Although septal myectomy and concomitant mitral valve surgery are typical in the treatment of hypertrophic obstructive cardiomyopathy (HOCM), the combination of these procedures through right anterior mini-thoracotomy has rarely been presented in the literature. This study presents a minimally invasive surgical technique and the clinical results of one institution’s experience with this technique over the past four years.
