I had my septal myectomy exactly one year ago today at Mayo. I live in NC, so I certainly had to travel a ways to get the surgery. I could not be more pleased with the outcome. The improvements I have seen (too many to list here) have exceeded my expectations. In weighing out factors there are certainly practical considerations such as insurance coverage, family support, travel, etc but I cannot emphasize enough importance of going to a high volume center of excellence. From all the research I did, outcomes are consistently better for myectomy at high volume centers. We live fairly close to Duke University, which is a very respectable medical institution, but they don't do nearly as many myectomies as Mayo. When going to a center of excellence such as Mayo, you are getting not only the best surgeons, but an expert team who routinely did this type of surgery.
Fortunately, my local cardiologist trained at Mayo and she was able to steer me toward an excellent cardiologist and surgeon.

I was fortunate to have a very supportive wife who helped me through the recovery and 2 of our 3 children were able to fly out and spend the week. It would have been nice to have perhaps a few more visitors, but honestly in looking back not sure I would have wanted a lot of visitors in those first few days of recovery. i would certainly do some research to see what kind of volume they do there (Boulder) as well as outcome data. Best of luck in your decision!
