Abstract:
Systolic anterior motion of the anterior mitral leaflet plays an important role in the dynamic outflow tract obstruction encountered in patients with hypertrophic obstructive cardiomyopathy. Here we present a 58-year-old male patient who was successfully treated with a myectomy procedure applied along with the edge-to-edge Alfieri stitch technique. The use of the Alfieri technique provides satisfactory short-term results and can be considered as an alternative adjunct to abolish systolic anterior motion.
