Figure 1:

Custom jig (a) to mount, traverse (a), optionally balloon dilatate (b, c) and lacerate pericardial “leaflets” in an electrosurgical bath and test balloon enlargement between traversal and laceration. Representative leaflet splay following BASILICA (d) and BA-BASILICA (e) laceration and subsequent implantation of a 26mm Sapien3. Schematic of a leaflet laceration (f) demonstrating splay measurements.
