EuroPCR 2026: BATMAN (Balloon-Assisted Translocation(slpitting) of the Mitral Anterior Leaflet) Expands TMVR Options in High-Risk Patients<\/p>\n
\u2022\u2060 \u2060* Two major techniques are now available to reduce LVOT obstruction risk before Transcatheter Mitral Valve Replacement(TMVR):
\n\u2022\u2060 \u2060LAMPOON
\n\u2022\u2060 \u2060BATMA<\/p>\n
\u2022\u2060 \u2060LAMPOON: Intentional “electrosurgical” splitting of the anterior mitral leaflet before TMVR to reduce LVOT obstruction.
\n\u2022\u2060 \u2060BATMAN: “Balloon-assisted modification\/splitting” of the anterior mitral leaflet before TMVR to create more LVOT space.
\n\u2022\u2060 \u2060BASILICA: Intentional leaflet laceration before \u201cTAVR= TAVI\u201d to prevent coronary artery obstruction.
\n\u2022\u2060 \u2060BATMAN is a balloon-assisted technique used before TMVR to open\/split the anterior mitral leaflet and create more LVOT space.
\n\u2022\u2060 \u2060Why the anterior leaflet?
\nBecause it can be pushed toward the LVOT during TMVR and obstruct blood flow from the left ventricle.
\n\u2022\u2060 \u2060Registry data showed:
\n\u2022\u2060 \u2060* 99% procedural success
\n\u2022\u2060 \u2060No procedural deaths
\n\u2022\u2060 \u2060Especially useful in:
\n\u2022\u2060 \u2060Valve-in-ring
\n\u2022\u2060 \u2060Severe mitral annular calcification (MAC)
\n* Small predicted LVOT space
\n\u2022\u2060 \u2060BATMAN may offer a simpler and faster alternative to LAMPOON.<\/p>\n
\u2022\u2060 \u2060Key concept:
\n\u201cPrepare the anatomy before implanting the valve.\u201d<\/p>\n
