Objectives
Development of new conduction abnormalities that lead to the requirement for new permanent pacemaker implantation (PPI) has been reported to be the most frequent complication following TAVI. However, the reasons and clinical significance of TAVI-induced conduction disturbances and PPI are yet to be fully clarified. The aim of this study was to assess the predictors of PPI after TAVI with the Medtronic CoreValve prosthesis (CVP).
Methods
A total of 108 patients (63 % female, mean age: 76±9.0 years) who underwent transfemoral CVP implantation in between February 2013 and December 2015 at our clinic were enrolled. All pre- and post-procedural data was collected from the hospital registry and procedural notes. Predictors of requirement for PPI were analyzed.
