An 86-year-old woman presented with chest pain and discomfort. Echocardiography revealed severe aortic valve stenosis and asymmetric septal hypertrophy. Aortic valve replacement and myectomy were performed using a curved knife. The blade was U-shaped in cross-section, and was curved upward along the long axis. Hypertrophic septal myocardium was removed along the long axis of the left ventricle (LV), and a groove for blood flow was constructed. The patient was discharged uneventfully without recurrence of her chest discomfort. Our result suggested that a curved knife is a reasonable option for transaortic septal myectomy in patients with obstructive LV hypertrophy.
