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. Prevention focuses on tailoring TAVR to individual electrophysiological and anatomical profiles. Procedural factors like transfemoral access and self-expandable valves also increase this risk.

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

Circulation: Arrhythmia and Electrophysiology

Circulation: Arrhythmia and Electrophysiology, Ahead of Print. 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. versus 10.0%;P=0.034). versus 10.0%;P=0.034).
