Abstract

Electrosurgery has emerged as a groundbreaking tool in the field of structural cardiac interventions, revolutionizing the approach to complex cardiac conditions. This review delves into the core principles, procedural techniques, outcomes, and potential challenges associated with various electrosurgical procedures within the realm of structural cardiology. Five key electrosurgical procedures performed in complex structural interventions are highlighted in this review. They are the Transcaval Access, BASILICA, LAMPOON, ELASTIC/ELASTA-Clip, and SESAME procedures. While these electrosurgery procedures hold promise and have demonstrated positive outcomes, their technical intricacies, patient selection criteria, and the need for further research remain important considerations. As technology continues to evolve and more data becomes available, electrosurgery is poised to continue shaping the landscape of cardiac care, offering minimally invasive alternatives, and improving patient outcomes in complex structural cardiac interventions.
