[MSB-73] Hypertrophic Obstructive Cardiomyopathy Management in the Pediatric Population: The Dilemma of Mitral Valve Replacement

According to our experience, simultaneous MVR in pediatric HOCM cases requiring surgery is more effective in enlarging the left ventricular cavity and reducing the gradient in the LVOT, as it allows both the removal of the mitral valvular apparatus and the prevention of SAM. It provides a greater cavity volume gain compared to the alternative manipulation of the mitral valve apparatus. In our clinic, MVR surgery combined with myectomy is safely performed in pediatric HOCM cases.
