	abstract = {Coronary artery obstruction is a devastating complication of transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR). Bioprosthetic or native Aortic Scallop Intentional Laceration to prevent Iatrogenic Coronary Artery Obstruction (BASILICA) is a transcatheter, electrosurgical technique that was developed to prevent obstruction due to sinus effacement or sinus sequestration. BASILICA creates a midline laceration of one (solo) or both (doppio) offending aortic leaflets and has been performed in over 1,000 patients at high risk for obstruction. The procedure has been studied in the prospective BASILICA IDE Trial and data from the International BASILICA Registry of 214 patients supports efficacy and safety; procedural success was achieved in 94.4% and at thirty days 95.3% were free from culprit coronary artery obstruction, all-cause mortality was 2.8% and disabling stroke was reported in only 0.5%. In this review we discuss screening for patients at high risk for coronary artery obstruction, technical details related to performing the BASILICA procedure and how to troubleshoot a BASILICA procedure.},
