Objective To analyze the surgical procedures and clinical effects of surgical treatment for patients with hypertrophic obstructive cardiomyopathy (HOCM). Methods We retrospectively analyzed the clinical data of sixty-five consecutive patients with HOCM who underwent modified Morrow procedure in Wuhan Asia Heart Hospital between June 2010 and December 2013. There were 40 males and 25 females with mean age of 48.4±11.5 years (ranged 18-70 years). Results There was no in-hospital mortality. There was no valve injury or ventricular septal perforation occurred during operation. Postoperative LVOT gradient, interventricular septum (IVS), left ventricular end-diastolic diameter (LVEDD), left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) and mitral regurgitation (MR) were significantly lower than preoperative values (P<0.05). Complete atrioventricular block occurred in 3 patients, complete left bundle branch block occurred in 7 patients, and left anterior division block occurred in 3 patients. All patients were followed up for 6-35 months. During the following-up time, the clinical symptoms diminished in 55 patients and ameliorated significantly in other 10 patients. All patients had a NewYork Heart Association functional class Ⅰ/Ⅱ during the follow-up. Conclusion Surgical septal myectomy can eliminate obstruction of left ventricular outflow tract and relief symptoms obviously. The early and mid-term outcomes are satisfactory.
