Abstract

Three patients with obstructive cardiomyopathy underwent surgical treatment. Mitral valve replacement was performed in all three cases and myectomy of hypertrophic septal muscle was performed in one case. The pressure gradients between the left ventricle and the aorta was less than 10 mmHg in all cases after surgery, Clinical symptoms strikingly improved in three cases. An accurate surgical treatment could be achieved by choosing either myotomy-myectomy, mitral valve replacement or both in the setting of individual condition of each patients.
