A new technique to avoid the intraoperative complications of septal myectomy in patients with obstructive hypertrophic cardiomyopathy

Although transaortic septal myectomy in obstructive hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (OHC) is accepted as a safe procedure, it may end up with serious peroperative complications. We developed a practical method to avoid this unfavorable outcome by using a 20-cc syringe body. We believe this apparatus wil...

Description
Summary:	Although transaortic septal myectomy in obstructive hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (OHC) is accepted as a safe procedure, it may end up with serious peroperative complications. We developed a practical method to avoid this unfavorable outcome by using a 20-cc syringe body. We believe this apparatus will provide safe and effective septal myectomy procedures without additional cost.
