Balloon-Assisted Translocation of the Mitral Anterior Leaflet to Prevent Outflow Tract Obstruction During TMVR: BATMAN-Registry

Key Points

• The study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of balloon-assisted translocation in preventing outflow tract obstruction during transcatheter mitral valve replacement (TMVR).
• Prospective registry analysis of patients undergoing TMVR.
• Utilization of balloon-assisted translocation technique during the procedure.
• Assessment of outcomes related to outflow tract obstruction.
• Significant reduction in the incidence of outflow tract obstruction post-TMVR compared to historical controls.
• Improved hemodynamic parameters observed in the treatment group.
• No major complications reported associated with the balloon-assisted technique.
