Abstract

Hypertrophic obstructive cardiomyopathy represents a significant clinical problem. The objective with this investigation was to address if echocardiography guide and monitor myocardial septal myectomy with a novel device. An experimental porcine model was used. The findings were that echocardiography can successfully be used to guide a novel procedure for minimally invasive surgical myectomy. Moreover, echocardiography can be used to hemodynamically monitor this procedure. Finally, echocardiography can be used to evaluate the result of the myectomy.
