Septal Myectomy SurgeryIn Jaipur

What is Septal Myectomy Surgery?

Septal myectomy is a surgical procedure carried out for the treatment of hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM), a condition defined by the heart muscle thickness, specifically in the septum, the wall separating the heart’s left and right sides. This thickness obstructs the blood flow causing symptoms like shortness of breath, fainting, chest pain, etc. In septal myectomy, the surgeon removes the thickened septum to increase blood flow and minimise symptoms. 

If you experience any symptoms of hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, book your appointment with cardiac surgeons in Jaipur at CK Birla Hospital. We have integrated state-of-the-art facilities and highly experienced cardiac specialists to ensure the best possible care for your heart health.

Why is Septal Myectomy Surgery Performed?

Here are reasons for why septal myectomy is performed: 

  • When medication and other treatment options are not helping to reduce the symptoms of HCM. 
  • Some patients are prone to sudden cardiac death due to severe HCM.
  • Regular occurrences of fainting or near-fainting.
  • Blockage in blood flow from the left ventricle to the aorta.
  • Abnormal mitral valve movement that occurs due to thickened septum.
