The design features of the cutting electrode and the electrical characteristics of a monopolar electrosurgical device were specially adapted for performing a septal myectomy in patients with hypertrophic obstructive cardiomyopathy. Both the cutting behavior and electrode design were found to facilitate myectomy.
