PG - 18 LID - 10.1186/s12947-016-0060-9 [doi] LID - 18 AB - BACKGROUND: There has been limited data addressing outcomes of extensive septal myectomy in Chinese patients with hypertrophic obstructive cardiomyopathy (HOCM). In this study, the objective was to evaluate the clinical and echocardiographic outcomes of extensive septal myectomy in a relative large number of Chinese HOCM patients over long-term follow-up. METHODS: We retrospectively studied 139 consecutive HOCM patients (age 43 +/- 15 years, 37 % male) who underwent extensive left ventricular septal myectomy. During the perioperative period, all patients were examined by echocardiography. All-cause death and cardiac death were considered as primary endpoints during follow-up. Perioperative data was obtained by retrospective review of institutional surgical databases. Follow-up data of echocardiography and clinical status was recorded through outpatient interview. RESULTS: Perioperative events consisted of arrhythmia, retraction injury to aortic valve leaflets, pleural effusion, and hemodialysis and the use of intra-aortic balloon pump. There was no in-hospital mortality. The follow-up period averaged 5.6 +/- 0.9 years and overall survivals were 100.0, 99.3, 99.3, 98.5 and 97.8 % at 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5 years, respectively. Left ventricular outflow tract (LVOT) gradient decreased form preoperative 84 +/- 17 mmHg to 12 +/- 3 mmHg at 2.5 years after surgery and it further reduced to 6 +/- 3 mmHg at 5 years after surgery (P < 0.05). Compared with the preoperative levels, interventricualr septal thickness decreased by 32 % while diastole left ventricular inner diameter approximately increased by 10 % and ejection fraction (EF) was significantly elevated during follow-up (P < 0.05). By echocardiography detection, mitral regurgitation was ameliorated for HOCM patients after surgery. There was significant improvement in New York Heart Association (NYHA) class. The proportion of NYHA III and IV decreased from preoperative 58 to 19 % at 2.5 years after surgery and it reduced to 11 % at 5 years after operation. CONCLUSION: Extensive septal myectomy offers minimal operative risk and provides long-term relief for LVOT obstruction in Chinese HOCM patients.
