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 endpoints of technical and procedural success and adverse events up to one year.
RESULTS
Treated aortic valves included native (5.3%), surgical bioprosthetic (92.1%) and transcatheter valves (2.6%). Double BASILICA (for both left and right coronary cusps) was performed in 11.8% of patients. Technical success with BASILICA was achieved in 97.7% and resulted in freedom from any target leaflet-related CAO in 90.6% with a low rate of complete CAO (2.4%). Target leaflet-related CAO occurred significantly more often in older and stentless bioprosthetic valves and with higher implantation levels of transcatheter heart valves. Procedural success was 88.2%, and freedom from VARC-3-defined early safety endpoints was 79.0%. One-year survival was 84.2%; 90.5% of patients were in New York Heart Association Functional Class I/II.
CONCLUSIONS
EURO-BASILICA is the first multicentre study evaluating the BASILICA technique in Europe. The technique appeared feasible and effective in preventing TAVI-induced CAO, and one-year clinical outcomes were favourable. The residual risk for CAO requires further study.
