Combined transaortic/transapical left ventricular septal myectomy for subaortic and midventricular obstruction in a paediatric patient.

Abstract

The patient is a 15-year-old girl who was diagnosed with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy and has been symptomatic due to severe left ventricular outflow tract obstruction. Combined transaortic and transapical left ventricular septal myectomy was performed to relieve the left ventricular outflow tract obstruction and address both subaortic and midventricular gradients.
