We present optimally reconstructed three‐dimensional computed tomography images of left ventricular outflow obstruction, comprehensive left ventriculography, and comparable intraoperative transesophageal echocardiography, as well as serial operative pictures, to facilitate the understanding of live‐heart anatomy of hypertrophic obstructive cardiomyopathy. As shown in this case, detailed morphological analysis around the left ventricular outflow tract using preoperative computed tomography would be feasible and useful. The present case highlights the importance of obtaining complete three‐dimensional information present in the acquired computed tomography dataset because computed tomography is not entirely noninvasive or free of radiation exposure and contrast material.
