Procedural and one-year outcomes of the BASILICA technique in Europe: the multicentre EURO-BASILICA registry.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The real-world outcomes of the use of the BASILICA (Bioprosthetic or Native Aortic Scallop Intentional Laceration to Prevent Iatrogenic Coronary Artery Obstruction) transcatheter technique in Europe have not been described.

Aims

We sought to evaluate the procedural and one-year outcomes of BASILICA in patients at high risk for coronary artery obstruction (CAO) undergoing transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) in a multicentre European registry (EURO-BASILICA).

Methods

Seventy-six patients undergoing BASILICA and TAVI at ten European centres were included. Eighty-five leaflets were identified as targets for BASILICA due to high risk for CAO. The updated Valve Academic Research Consortium 3 (VARC-3) definitions were used to determine prespecified endp
