Strategy to prevent coronary artery obstruction
| Strategy | Advantages |
|---|---|
| Lower implantation of the bioprosthesis | Preferring self-expandable valves for the possibility of re-capturing |
| Chimney snorkel stenting technique | Wiring the coronary artery and putting a stent on standby |
| Orthotopic snorkel stenting technique | Re-cannulation and wiring after THV release |
| BASILICA | Laceration of surgical leaflets with an electrified guidewire to create a communication between the sinus and neo-sinus |
BASILICA: Bioprosthetic or Native Aortic Scallop Intentional Laceration to prevent Iatrogenic Coronary Artery obstruction; THV: transcatheter heart valves
