What is Septal Myectomy?

During septal myectomy, a surgeon removes excess muscle from the thickened septum. This allows the blood to empty from the ventricle more easily. Alcohol septal ablation is another option for treating cardiomyopathy. In alcohol septal ablation, the doctor injects alcohol into a blood vessel in the ventricular septum.

The septum may bulge into the left ventricle and partially block the blood flow out to the body. This causes the heart to work harder. It also contributes to many symptoms of the disease, such as fatigue and shortness of breath.

How is it treated?

Treatment for acute myeloid leukemia is vital. It varies with the patient and stage of the disease. Treatment options include

Septal myectomy is surgery to thin out the wall between the left and right side of the heart, which becomes thick and obstructs blood flow in people with HCM. Thinning the septum also reduces mitral valve regurgitation, a condition in which blood flows backward into the atrium, or upper chamber of the heart.
