AbstractThe Rastelli operation has been the most common procedure for the repair of transposition of the great arteries with ventricular septal defect and left ventricular outflow tract obstruction. A relatively recent approach is the Nikaidoh procedure. Despite the fact that it seems promising, the operation lacks long-term follow-up data. It has been postulated that patients with anomalous coronary arteries are high-risk candidates for the Nikaidoh procedure and its modifications. In this report, we present the case of a patient with transposition of the great arteries with remote restrictive ventricular septal defect and left ventricular outflow tract obstruction with coronary anomaly – with the right coronary artery originating from the left anterior descending coronary artery and crossing the right ventricular outflow tract – who underwent successful modified Nikaidoh operation.

Hypertrophic obstructive cardiomyopathy is the most common inherited cardiomyopathy. Septal myectomy is a low-risk operation and remains the first septal reduction therapeutic option. We present a patient with hypertrophic obstructive cardiomyopathy requiring extended septal myectomy and concomitant left ventricular outflow tract intervention. In addition to septal reduction therapy, this patient also underwent anterior mitral valve plication, trigonal release, and secondary chordal division to relieve the obstruction. A tailored approach to hypertrophic obstructive cardiomyopathy with a comprehensive left ventricular outflow tract intervention is necessary to ensure the best hemodynamic outcome. Preoperative heart failure and recurrent syncope fully resolved after this intervention.
