Abstract:
Objective:To evaluate the efficacy and safety of immediate intraoperative transapical beating-heart septal myectomy (TA-BSM) in patients with hypertrophic obstructive cardiomyopathy (HOCM) and explored the clinical value of three-dimensional transesophageal echocardiography (3D-TEE) during the procedure of TA-BSM.Methods:One hundred and thirty-seven HOCM patients who underwent TA-BSM surgery in Tongji Hospital Affiliated to Tongji Medical College of Huazhong University of Science and Technology from April 2022 to March 2023 were selected.During the operation, 3D-TEE was used to locate the position of the myocardial circumcision system and navigate the range of myocardial circumcision. The interventricular septal thickness( IVST) and peak pressure gradient of the left ventricular outflow tract (LVOT-PG) were measured, and the degree of mitral systolic anterior motion (SAM) and mitral regurgitation (MR) were evaluated in HOCM patients before and after the operation. The range of the incisal margin was measured, and the number of resection knives and the weight of the removed myocardium were recorded.Results:TA-BSM under 3D-TEE navigation was successfully performed in 137 HOCM patients. The number of resection was 7(5, 9), and the weight of the removed myocardium was 5.6(3.4, 8.9)g. During the operation, there were no adverse events such as death, aortic valve injury, and iatrogenic interventricular septal perforation. Compared with those before the operation, the wall thickness of basal and middle segments of the anterior and posterior interventricular septum decreased significantly (all P<0.001), and LVOT-PG decreased significantly ( P<0.001). After TA-BSM, the number of patients with SAM≥3 decreased from 94 cases (68.6%) to 2 cases (1.5%), and the number of patients with MR≥3+ decreased from 86 cases (62.8%) to 9 cases (6.6%)(all P<0.001). For the patients with different degrees of ventricular septal hypertrophy (mild, moderate, and severe), the postoperative IVST and LVOT-PG were significantly lower than the preoperative values, and the degree of MR and SAM signs was relieved considerably. The length of the incisal margin, the weight of excised myocardium, and the number of resection in the group with extensive septal hypertrophy in all three regions were significantly higher than those in the group with localized interventricular septal hypertrophy in single or two areas (all P<0.05). Conclusions:3D-TEE can guide and monitor the process of TA-BSM myocardial resection in real-time. By accurately evaluating the IVST and the range and hemodynamic characteristics of HOCM patients, it can effectively relieve LVOTO and significantly reduce MR to ensure the safety and effectiveness of TA-BSM in HOCM patients with different degrees and ranges of hypertrophy.
