We report the surgical treatment of 23 patients with local hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (LHM). Fifteen patients, group I (65.3%), with LHM were treated by myotomy-myectomy alone. Eight patients, group II (34.7%), with LHM and other cardiac disease, was treated by myotomy-myectomy and complementary procedure (mitral or aortic replacement, correction of congenital malformation). This group II had the major morbidity and mortality. Five years follow up had a 76.14% survival.
