Hypertrophic obstructive cardiomyopathy is a cardiac disease presenting with the thickened heart muscle and may obstruct left ventricle outflow. A 32-year-old male patient was admitted to our clinic with complaints of weakness, fatigue, and abdominal pain, mostly after meals. He had a systolic anterior motion of the mitral valve concomitantly. He was operated with septal wedge myectomy, resection of the secondary chordae, and plication of the anterior leaflet via the aortic orifice. In conclusion, in such cases the results are satisfactory; however, some patients may later develop mitral regurgitation over time.
