Transcatheter Electrosurgery in the Asia-Pacific: Implementation and Innovations.
Review in JACC. Asia, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 papers.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Transcatheter electrosurgery involves the precise application of high-frequency electrical currents to modify or perforate cardiac structures during structural heart interventions. Adoption of these techniques in the Asia-Pacific region has grown significantly alongside the expansion of structural heart programs. Techniques such as Bioprosthetic or Native Aortic Scallop Intentional Laceration to Prevent Coronary Artery Obstruction (BASILICA), Undermining Iatrogenic Coronary Obstruction With Radiofrequency Needle (UNICORN), Laceration of the Anterior Mitral Leaflet to Prevent Outflow Obstruction (LAMPOON), and Balloon Assisted Translocation of the Mitral Anterior Leaflet to Prevent Left Ventricular Outflow Obstruction (BATMAN) have been employed by regional interventionalists to lacerate native or prosthetic heart valves before transcatheter valve implantation, thereby mitigating the risks of coronary or left ventricular outflow tract obstruction. In addition, transcaval access has facilitated transcatheter aortic valve replacement in patients with limited iliofemoral vascular access. This narrative review, authored by the Asia-Pacific Electrosurgery Working Group, explores the evolution of transcatheter electrosurgery, highlighting regional adoption, variations, and innovative contributions. Furthermore, it discusses prevailing challenges and future directions, emphasizing the importance of standardized training and collaborative innovation efforts.
