Temporal trends, patient characteristics and hospital volume outcomes after transcoronary ablation of septal hypertrophy and septal myectomy for treatment of obstructive hypertrophic cardiomyopathy
SM was performed in older, more comorbid patiens and frequently included concomitant valve surgery. Higher in-hospital mortality at low-volume centers may partially reflect surgical complexity or case mix rather than volume alone. Our findings underscore the need for individualized referral strategies to experienced centers.
