The BATMAN (Basilica Technique with MitraClip for Anatomically Nonconforming) procedure is a novel transcatheter approach designed to treat severe mitral regurgitation (MR) in patients who are poor candidates for traditional surgical or standard transcatheter solutions. MR, a condition where the heart's mitral valve does not close tightly, leads to blood leaking backward into the heart, causing symptoms such as fatigue, shortness of breath, and eventual heart failure.
