Abstract
Objectives: The common surgical treatment in patients with obstructive hypertrophic cardiomyopathy is septal myectomy. This involves resection of a segment of the myocardial septum and can be performed with and without concomitant anterior mitral valve leaflet extension (AMVLE). While both approaches have satisfying clinical outcomes, there is a lack of data regarding the added value of concomitant AMVLE. In particular, their impact on postoperative haemodynamics remains unexplored. Therefore, we conducted a study to assess the feasibility of utilizing four-dimensional-flow cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (4D-flow cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (CMR)) to investigate postoperative haemodynamic differences among both surgical approaches.
Methods: In this feasibility study, nine subjects underwent 4D-flow CMR evaluation, including three patients who underwent isolated myectomy, three patients with myectomy + AMVLE and three healthy controls. Primary end-points were aortic wall shear stress, left ventricular outflow tract (LVOT) peak velocity and peak kinetic energy in the LVOT and ascending aorta.
Results: Results showed that patients who underwent myectomy with concomitant AMVLE exhibited (i) lower aortic wall shear stress (-21.2%), (ii) lower LVOT peak velocity (-6.3%), (iii) higher kinetic energy in the LVOT (+10.8%) and (iv) lower kinetic energy in the ascending aorta (-28.8%) compared to patients who underwent isolated myectomy.
Conclusions: Patients undergoing additional AMVLE exhibited a better trend towards the haemodynamic reference values from healthy controls compared to patients undergoing isolated myectomy. Our findings underscore the feasibility of 4D-flow CMR to assess postoperative haemodynamic differences in hypertrophic cardiomyopathy patients undergoing different surgical approaches. This highlights the potential of 4D-flow CMR to compare surgical strategies based on postoperative haemodynamics.
