This procedure is usually done in Room 1, and requires a 5 person team: Front table scrub, Back table scrub (device prep), Circulator, Pacer/Circulator, and Recorder. The rep for the respective company will be present to assist with device prep except in the case of an emergency valve placement.

In rare cases, the BASILICA procedure will be necessary to split the existing valve leaflets to prevent blockage of the coronary arteries. In that situation, the equipment on the BASILICA page will be needed in addition to the equipment listed below.
