ABSTRACT
Hypertrophic obstructive cardiomyopathy (HOCM) with mid ventricular obstruction leading to apical aneurysm and clot is very rare. Intraoperative transesophageal echocardiogram (TEE) can be used to know the maximum thickness of the septum, its distance from the aortic annulus and the apical extent of septal bulge. Postresection TEE can provide information about residual obstruction or any complications. We present a case of 65-year-old male patient who underwent CABG, septal myectomy, Dor's procedure for aneurysm and clot removal. Septal resection was done under TEE guidance.
