Background—Very few data exist on the clinical impact of permanent pacemaker
implantation (PPI) after transcatheter aortic valve implantation. The objective of this study
was to assess the impact of PPI after transcatheter aortic valve implantation on late
outcomes in a large cohort of patients. Methods and Results—A total of 1556 consecutive
patients without prior PPI undergoing transcatheter aortic valve implantation were included.
Of them, 239 patients (15.4%) required a PPI within the first 30 days after transcatheter aortic …

Objectives: The aim of this study was to identify predictors of permanent pacemaker
implantation (PPMI) following transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) with a balloon-
expandable transcatheter valve (Edwards SAPIEN 3). Background: New-onset conduction
disturbances requiring PPMI remain a major concern following TAVR. Predictors are not yet
well defined. Methods: The influence of angiographic implantation depth, device landing
zone calcium volume, oversizing, pre-and post-dilation, and baseline conduction …
