Extended septal myectomy in patients who previously underwent alcohol septal ablation is a safe procedure that affects all pathological manifestations of the disease. Routine preoperative computed tomography or cardiac magnetic resonance provides detailed anatomy of the anomalous left ventricle and subvalvular structures and allows to measure the extension of myectomy preventing the occurrence of iatrogenic ventricular septal defect. Septal myectomy of the calcified interventricular septum requires avoidance of 'one-piece technique' since fragmental myectomy allows visually control the adequacy of the left ventricle outflow tract release.
