Procedure

• Setup and access is the same as TAVR except a 14F Dryseal sheath is inserted initially instead of the ESheath.
  • Bovie set at 30 CUT ONLY.
• AL1 advanced over J wire through 7F sheath. Wire exchanged for straight stiff glidewire for valve crossing.
• AL1 exchanged over the wire for MP1 Guide with watchdog and stopcock attached.
• Platinum Plus wire is preshaped by MD and inserted through MP to retain LV access.
• Snare advanced through MP alongside Platinum Plus.
• BASILICA catheter advanced through Dryseal sheath with watchdog and stopcock attached.
• Kinked Astato wire advanced through BASILICA catheter.
• Hand injection performed to verify position of BASILICA catheter.
• Astato wire connected to bovie with 2 hemostats.
• RF applied as Astato wire advanced.
• Once wire penetrates leaflet it is snared and pulled into MP1.
• Platinum Plus wire removed
• AL1 advanced next to BASILICA catheter and valve recrossed in standard fashion.
• 60ml D5 filled syringes and extension tubing attached to sideports of guides and injected simultaneously during leaflet laceration.
• MP removed. BASILICA catheter removed.
• Amplatz ES advanced through AL1 and AL1 removed.
• Pigtail advanced to coronary cusp
• Dryseal exchanged for ESheath
• Do a TAVR.

Double BASILICA

• (2) Piggyback wire converter 4fr x 145

18F Dryseal on primary side. Once both leaflets are traversed, do valve check. Platinum Plus removed. AL1 advanced and valve recrossed. Pigtail left in LV for retention. Right leaflet is lacerated, equipment removed. Pigtail removed over delivery wire. Valve delivery advanced and left indwelling in aorta. Left leaflet lacerated and equipment removed. Valve deployed.
