Valvular & structural heart disease
Procedural and one-year outcomes of the BASILICA technique in Europe: the multicentre EURO-BASILICA registry
Authors' conclusion
The technique appeared feasible and effective in preventing TAVI-induced CAO, and one-year clinical outcomes were favourable.
Study context
- Population
- Patients at high risk for coronary artery obstruction (CAO) undergoing transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI), Europe85 target leaflets
- Participants
- 76 patients
- Outcome
- VARC-3 technical and procedural success and adverse events
- Follow-up
- Up to one year
Methodological details10 European centres, Valves treated: native 5.3%, surgical bioprosthetic 92.1%, transcatheter 2.6%; double BASILICA in 11.8%
- 10 European centres
- Valves treated: native 5.3%, surgical bioprosthetic 92.1%, transcatheter 2.6%; double BASILICA in 11.8%
