Incidence and Outcomes of New-Onset Right Bundle Branch Block Following Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement

Circulation: Arrhythmia and Electrophysiology

BACKGROUND:The incidence and prognosis of right bundle branch block (RBBB) following transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) are unknown. Post-TAVR RBBB was defined as new-onset RBBB in the postimplantation period. Post-TAVR RBBB was defined as new-onset RBBB in the postimplantation period. versus 10.0%;P=0.034).
