28 The incidence of co-morbid medical conditions amongst patients with aortic stenosis

Abstract

mitral valve surgery and had a complicated post-operative recovery with multi-organ failure. 2 patients required readmission for urgent pericardiocentesis. 12 (30%) patients experienced no complications following surgery. Conclusion Patients undergoing myectomy for HCM with obstruction in our centre predominantly have concurrent cardiac lesions requiring surgical correction. Myectomy is effective at reducing LVOT gradients and improving patient symptoms, however there are associated perioperative risks.Complications associated with patients undergoing complex cardiac surgery include bleeding requiring further intervention and rhythm issues such as AF. A smaller proportion of complications included stroke and renal failure.
