Transapical Beating-Heart Septal Myectomy in Patient With Hypertrophic Obstructive Cardiomyopathy: a Multi-Center Study
Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
The primary purpose of this study is to evaluate the feasibility, the safety and the efficacy of the transapical beating-heart septal myectomy for the treatment of hypertrophic obstructive cardiomyopathy. This is a prospective, single-arm, multi-center study.

Detailed Description
Surgical septal myectomy remains the gold standard for the treatment of hypertrophic obstructive cardiomyopathy. However, conventional septal myectomy is hindered by the demanding expertise that is needed to sufficient relieve the obstruction of the left ventricle outflow tract while guarantee safety. To increase the visualization and minimize the surgical injury of conventional septal myectomy, the investigators have invented a novel beating-heart myectomy device. Through a mini-thoractomy, septal myectomy could be accomplished via a transapical access in the beating heart using the beating-heart myectomy device. The whole process of resection is monitored, navigated, and evaluated by real-time transesophageal and transthoracic echocardiography. Left ventricle outflow tract gradient and the grade of mitral regurgitation are evaluated each time after resection. Multiple resections are performed to tailor sufficient relief of left ventricle outflow tract obstruction and mitral regurgitation, while preventing iatrogenic injuries. After transapical beating-heart septal myectomy, participants is scheduled to be seen for follow-up visits at discharge (about 7 days post operation) and 3 months.

Experimental: Hypertrophic Obstructive Cardiomyopathy Transapical beating-heart septal myectomy for the patient with hypertrophic obstructive cardiomyopathy. |
Procedure: Transapical beating-heart septal myectomy
We have invented a beating-heart myectomy device.Through a minimally invasive intercostal incision, septal myectomy could be accomplished via a transapical access in the beating heart using the device. The whole process of resection is monitored, navigated, and evaluated by real-time transesophageal and transthoracic echocardiography. Left ventricle outlet tract gradient and the grade of mitral regurgitation are evaluated each time after resection. Multiple resections are performed to tailor the muscular resection for sufficient relief of left ventricle outlet tract obstruction and mitral regurgitation, while preventing iatrogenic injuries.

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures
- All-cause mortality [3 months]
Death from any cause during the observation period.
- Number of participants with procedural success [3 months]
Resting left ventricle outflow tract gradients < 30 mmHg, provoked left ventricle outflow tract gradients < 50 mmHg, and mitral regurgitation (MR) ≤ grade 1+.
Secondary Outcome Measures
- Number of participants with device success [1 day]
Successful accession, delivery, and retrieval of the resection device, successful resection of the septal myocardium, resting left ventricle outflow tract gradient less than 50 mmHg and mitral regurgitation (MR) ≤ grade 2+ during operation after resection, and free from conversion to midline thoracotomy during operation.
- Septal thickness [7 days and 3 months]
Basal and mid septal thickness as measured by echocardiography.
- Left ventricle mass [7 days and 3 months]
Left ventricle mass index (the ratio of left ventricle mass to body weight) as measured by cardiac magnetic resonance.
- Left atria volume [7 days and 3 months]
The left atria volume as measured by echocardiography.
- Major adverse cardiovascular and cerebral events [3 months]
In-hospital mortality, atrioventricular block that need permanent pacemaker implantation, sternotomy conversion, iatrogenic ventricular septal perforation, iatrogenic valvular injury, imaging examination-validated cerebral complications.
- New York Heart Association class [7 days and 3 months]
New York Heart Association class, including grade I, grade II, grade III, grade IV. A higher grade means worse heart function.
- 6-minute walking test [3 months]
6-minute walking test. A longer distance means better heart function.
- Score of the Kansas City Cardiomyopathy Questionnaire [7 days and 3 months]
The score of the Kansas City Cardiomyopathy Questionnaire have a range 0-100. A higher score means better heart function.
- Left ventricular outflow tract gradient [7 days and 3 months]
Left ventricular outflow tract gradient as measured by echocardiography.
- Grade of mitral regurgitation [7 days and 3 months]
Grade of mitral regurgitation as measured by echocardiography, with a scale of 0, 1+, 2+, 3+, 4+. A higher grade means worse mitral regurgitaion.
- Left ventricular outflow tract diameter [7 days and 3 months]
Left ventricular outflow tract diameter as measured by echocardiography.
- Number of Participants with technical success [7 days or before discharge]
Resting left ventricle outflow tract gradients < 30 mmHg without in-hospital death.
- Grade of systolic anterior motion [7 days and 3 months]
Grade of systolic anterior motion as measured by echocardiography, with a scale of 0, 1, 2, 3, 4. A higher grade means worse mitral regurgitaion.
