Abstract
Transapical septal myectomy can be performed for patients with nonobstructive hypertrophic cardiomyopathy and diastolic dysfunction to enlarge the LV cavity. The procedure may also include limited shaving of severely hypertrophied papillary muscles. This report illustrates the usefulness of papillary muscle resection to enlarge the left ventricle in a patient with nonobstructive hypertrophic cardiomyopathy and preexisting mitral valve prosthesis.
