A comparison of laser, electrosurgical, and mechanical transcatheter traversal of calcified aortic valve leafletsCentral MessagePerspective

Objective: Leaflet laceration can be an important adjunct to transcatheter aortic valve replacement to avoid coronary occlusion and to facilitate future percutaneous coronary access. The most technically challenging step is the initial leaflet traversal needed to start laceration. If traversal is ac...
