In this article, we review the role played by myectomy in cardiac surgery. For this purpose, we looked at three cases of different etiology where myectomy in conjunction with treatment of the primary condition proved invaluable in the outcome of these patients. The primary conditions requiring treatment were subaortic membrane, hypertrophic obstructive cardiomyopathy with mitral valve regurgitation, and aortic stenosis.
