To investigate clinical characteristics and survival outcomes of patients with obstructive hypertrophic cardiomyopathy who underwent concomitant coronary artery bypass grafting during septal myectomy.
Surgical septal myectomy (SM) is an effective approach for treating patients with drug-refractory obstructive hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM).However, numerous patients with HCM exhibit concurrent ischemic heart disease, including atherosclerotic coronary artery disease (CAD) and myocardial bridging (MB). Although patients with HCM have been known to possess diminished coronary flow reserve,additional CAD can worsen myocardial ischemia, contributing to an unfavorable prognosis.MB, although infrequent, may affect diastolic heart perfusion, leading to angina and even sudden death.Current guidelines recommend revascularization for ischemic heart disease caused by CAD and MB.However, the impact of concomitant coronary revascularization during HCM management remains unclear. In this study, we analyzed the clinical characteristics and surgical scenarios of patients who underwent concomitant coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) during ventricular SM and investigated their prognosis. Patient clinical and survival data from 2009-2020 were retrospectively reviewed. The median follow-up period was 5.1 years. All-cause mortality was the primary endpoint.
