High rate of bradycardia-dependent left bundle branch block after transcatheter aortic valve implantation

HeartRhythm

Left bundle branch block (LBBB) is a frequent complication of transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) and was shown to predict advanced atrio-ventricular block and pacemaker implantation (PI).1,2 1,2 Previous studies focused on persistent TAVI-induced LBBB. There are limited data on TAVI-related intermittent LBBB.

PO-02-021 RELATIVE BRADYCARDIA-DEPENDENT AV BLOCK AFTER TAVR

HeartRhythm

Bradycardia-dependent block is characterized by slowed or blocked conduction through His-Purkinje (HPS) fibers. We describe a case of bradycardia-dependent block after transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR). We describe a case of bradycardia-dependent block after transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR).
