BASILICA Technique: Why, When and How?
Review in European cardiology, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Coronary artery obstruction is a commonly fatal complication occurring after transcatheter aortic valve replacement. The main mechanisms are displacement of valve leaflets to overlie the coronary ostium or sequestration of the coronary sinus. The bioprosthetic or native aortic scallop intentional laceration to prevent iatrogenic coronary artery obstruction (BASILICA) procedure mitigates this risk. It entails deliberate laceration of the valve leaflet to allow it to splay apart during transcatheter heart valve implantation, thus maintaining coronary perfusion. Patient selection is based on key anatomical and imaging-derived parameters. Catheter electrosurgery involves using electrified wires to permit puncture and laceration of the leaflet. The steps undertaken to achieve a successful BASILICA procedure include access, traversal, puncture, laceration and completion, which are described in this review. Challenges faced by the BASILICA operator and practical solutions are also discussed.
