  • Surgical Treatment of Mitral Desease Patients Associated with Hypertrophic Obstructive Cardiomyopathy

    ObjectiveTo summarize the surgical strategy on treating mitral desease patient associated with hypertrophic obstructive cadiomyopathy (HOCM). MethodsWe retrospectively analyzed the clinical data of 17 patients with HOCM underwent surgical treatment from November 2003 to May 2015 year. There were 10 males and 7 females with a mean age of 42.2±15.5 years ranging from 7-62 years. There were 16 patients underwent modified Morrow procedure and 1 patient underwent modified Konno procedure to relieve the obstruction of left ventricular outflow tract. And different surgical treatment of mitral valve disease was implemented depending on the severity of regurgitation and under monitoring of transesophageal echocardiography. About 2 weeks after the surgery, we performed transthoracic echocardiography to evaluate the effect of operation. ResultsNo hospital death occurred and the surgery obviously improved the symptom and cardiac function in all cases. After surgery, echocardiography revealed that the mean thickness of the ventricular septum statistically decreased (P < 0.0001), the systolic anterior motion disappeared, the outflow track pressure of left ventricle statistically decreased (P < 0.0001), and the peak flow rate of left ventricle statistically decreased. However, there was no statistical difference in the change of the left ventricular ejection fraction(P=0.083). Nine patients with no mitral regurgitation (MR) or mild MR only underwent the unblock of the left ventricular outflow track, the MR decreased to mild or disappeared. Four patients with moderate or severe MR underwent mitral valve repair, and the MR decrease to mild or disappear. There were no complications occurred regarding to prosthesis implantation over the 4 patients underwent mitral valve replacement for infective endocarditis or other causes. ConclusionFor the HOCM patients with mild MR, the unblock of the left ventricular outflow track alone can effectively improve the MR. For those combined with moderate or severe MR, we should choose mitral valve repair or replacement based on individual situation of patient.
