Hypertrophic obstructive cardiomyopathy is a rare cardiac disease occurring
in approximately 0.2% of the population and is usually left ventricular
hypertrophy associated with or without mitral regurgitation due to SAM
syndrome. Medical treatment, first septal ablation with absolute alcohol or
septal left ventricular myectomy is the treatment methods for this disease. We
report here the surgical results of a case of obstructive bilateral ventricular
hypertrophy associated with a myocardial bridging of the left anterior
descending artery. Surgical unroofing on the left anterior descending artery
and septal myectomy were performed.
