February 2025 THE SURGICAL MANAGEMENT OF CONCOMITANT HYPERTROPHIC CARDIOMYOPATHY AND AORTIC STENOSISFeaturing: S. Christopher Malaisrie, MD
Episode SummaryS. Christopher Malaisrie, MD, highlights the critical need for surgical intervention in patients with concomitant hypertrophic obstructive cardiomyopathy (HOCM) and aortic stenosis. Leaving HOCM untreated during aortic valve replacement (AVR) or transcatheter aortic valve implantation significantly increases mortality risk. Dr. Malaisrie explains how research advocates for a combined surgical approach of AVR and septal myectomy for optimal outcomes in this rare patient population.
