HCM, apical aneurysm and complex congenital reconstruction · Rochester, Minnesota, United States
Joseph Dearani’s Mayo practice spans HCM, Ebstein anomaly, congenital surgery and complex reoperations. Mayo’s selected apical-myectomy research addresses a different problem from routine basal septal obstruction.
Mayo describes septal and selected apical myectomy pathways; apical aneurysm repair may accompany a transapical operation.

The Mayo series covers transapical myectomy plus apical aneurysm repair between 2000 and 2020. Median follow-up was 4.9 years; reported estimated five-year survival was 94.5%.
How to interpret this: This selected retrospective programme cohort is not an individual surgeon score. It does not establish that all apical or nonobstructive HCM requires surgery.
Rochester, Minnesota, United States
