While those two procedures both aim to alleviate obstruction, they are very different. Did you ever get an answer as to why one cardiologist recommended myectomy (very invasive open heart surgery to cut out part of the heart) and other recommended ablation (minimally invasive catheter-based procedure)? I genuinely wish you well and are able to receive excellent care. I too live in Colorado (Windsor) and am using UCHealth for my care. Hoping this COE looks into expanding their surgical options in the future.
