Yale Team Performs State’s First BATMAN Procedure
Yale New Haven Hospital achieved a major medical milestone with the state’s first BATMAN (Basilica Technique with MitraClip for Anatomically Nonconforming) procedure, offering new hope for patients with severe mitral regurgitation (MR) and complex anatomical conditions. Led by Prashanth Vallabhajosyula MD and a multidisciplinary team of cardiologists, the innovative transcatheter approach combines the precision of the Basilica procedure with mitral valve implantation to address MR in patients at high surgical risk.
