The most effective treatment of symptomatic patients with hypertrophic obstructive cardiomyopathy is still disputed. Treatment options include medical therapy, pacemaker insertion, percutaneous transluminal septal myocardial ablation, mitral valve replacement, and surgical resection of obstructing muscle. The long-term results of the various treatment options are not well defined. We aimed to demonstrate that septal myectomy is efficacious in reducing or abolishing left ventricular outflow tract gradient and leads to long-lasting symptomatic improvement in most patients.
