Surgical myectomy for hypertrophic cardiomyopathy: procedural volume and outcomes
Surgical myectomy with or without concomitant procedures effectively relieved LVOT obstruction in 93% of patients in this multicentre cohort. Female sex, ≥ 2 concomitant procedures, and low-volume hospitals were associated with higher 30-day complication rates. Although an inverse volume-complication relation was observed, this finding should be interpreted cautiously, and further investigation in larger sample size studies is warranted.
