Abstract:
A 37-year-old male patient with dilated cardiomyopathy and end-stage heart failure underwent Batista procedure. After 6 months, he underwent orthotopic heart transplantation. Though he did not survive the procedure, we conclude that Batista procedure may serve as a cost-effective biological bridge to cardiac transplantation.

Cardiac catheterization is an invasive diagnostic technique used to identify and evaluate structural and functional diseases of the heart and major blood vessels. This technique diagnoses congenital heart disease, coronary artery disease, valvular heart disease, and coronary spasms and assesses ventricular function. It helps guide treatment decisions, including the need for revascularization procedures like percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) or coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) and...
