Septal Myectomy Introduction
Septal myectomy is a heart surgery used to treat hypertrophic cardiomyopathy. In this condition, the heart muscle becomes abnormally thick, making it hard for blood to leave the heart. The surgery removes a small part of the thickened septum to improve blood flow.
Precision Relief Through Muscle Removal
During septal myectomy, a surgeon removes a portion of the thickened heart muscle from the interventricular septum. The surgery is done through an open-heart procedure, often requiring cardiopulmonary bypass. Surgeons use specialized tools like a scalpel, surgical retractors, and suction devices for precise tissue removal. The goal is to widen the path for blood flow from the left ventricle to the aorta. This procedure is typically performed under general anesthesia. It significantly reduces symptoms like chest pain, shortness of breath, and fainting spells.
Why it’s done?
- To treat hypertrophic obstructive cardiomyopathy (HOCM) when medication is not effective.
- To reduce severe left ventricular outflow tract (LVOT) obstruction.
- To relieve symptoms like chest pain, fatigue, and difficulty breathing.
- To prevent life-threatening arrhythmias or sudden cardiac death in high-risk patients.
