BackgroundAtrioventricular conduction disturbance occurs in a significant number of patients underwent transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR). However, not all of the cases persistently depend on ventricular pacing.
ObjectiveTo study the incidence, predictors, and outcomes of new ventricular pacing dependency (VpDep) after TAVR.
DesignProspective, single-center, cohort trial
MethodsThe first 130 consecutive transfemoral TAVR cases, except 3 with prior cardiac electronic implantable devices (CIEDs) who depended on ventricular pacing, were analyzed. The endpoints were VpDep at 1 month and all-cause mortality at the end of follow-up in 2021. The effects of variables on VpDep and all-cause mortality were evaluated using multivariate binary logistic regression and Cox-regression analysis, .
