Post?TAVR conduction abnormalities leading to permanent pacemaker implantation: Risk factors, prevention, and management

Journal of Cardiovascular Electrophysiology

Abstract Transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) often leads to conduction abnormalities, necessitating pacemaker implantation. Procedural factors like transfemoral access and self-expandable valves also increase this risk. Procedural factors like transfemoral access and self-expandable valves also increase this risk.

Anteroseptal accessory pathways: Killing one bird with two stones

Journal of Cardiovascular Electrophysiology

AS-APs can be successfully ablated from the right atrium (RA) or the aortic valve's noncoronary cusp (NCC). Electrophysiological maneuvers showed persistent retrograde AP conduction and orthodromic reciprocating tachycardia (ORT) remained easily inducible. Additional ablation in the NCC did not eliminate retrograde conduction.

Highlights of ACC 2024

Cardiology Update

SMART 4 ( NCT04722250 ) studied patients with severe aortic stenosis and a small aortic annulus who underwent transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR). A total of 716 patients underwent TAVR with either a self-expanding supraannular valve or a balloon-expandable valve.
