Session 1.4 | Recorded BASILICA and LAMPOON Demonstration

Chair: Nicolas Van Mieghem

Panel: Anita Asgar; Holger Thiele; Daniel Blackman

Case Presenter: Adam Greenbaum, Emory University Hospital, Atlanta, US

Dr Adam Greenbaum presents a recorded case-based session offers an in-depth look at BASILICA and LAMPOON key electrosurgical techniques aimed at preventing coronary obstruction and facilitating complex valve interventions.

Through detailed procedural walkthroughs, the session demonstrates how leaflet laceration strategies can be tailored to individual anatomy, including challenging scenarios such as degenerated valves and high obstruction risk. Practical insights into catheter positioning, imaging guidance and technical refinements are emphasised, alongside discussion of newer adaptations to improve procedural success.

Attendees will gain a clear understanding of when and how to implement these techniques, making this session highly relevant for operators managing complex TAVI and transcatheter mitral procedures.
