Belarusian heart surgeons recorded a record in the Republican Scientific and Practical Center "Cardiology", a patient with a severe diffuse form of hypertrophic cardiomyopathy underwent prolonged myectomy. Through a single transaortic approach (without an incision at the apex of the heart), 36.3 grams of myocardium was removed - more than 10% of the original mass of the left ventricular muscle. The operation was prepared using 3D modeling. The depth of resection from the aortic valve was about 10 cm. The previous maximum in the world literature (Cleveland Clinic series, 682 patients) was 32 grams. The Belarusian surgeons exceeded this figure. After the operation: the muscle thickness decreased from 40 to 18 mm and the pressure gradient decreased from 38 to 6 mm Hg. art. There were no complications, the patient was discharged on the 12th day, a rare and technically difficult case: usually this form of the disease requires a combined approach. VK Instagram TikTok.
