Good Morning:
Last night I was watching the news and caught the tail end of a story about the Batista Procedure, which I believe stated that the "dead" portion of a person's heart can be removed. The news story said that this procedure is being done at The Cleveland Clinic. Can you tell me more about it? Is this appropriate for patients whose MI's have left a portion of their heart "dead"?
Thank you so much for giving us a place to ask our questions!!
