Among Medicare beneficiaries, implantation was especially frequent for female patients and those undergoing tricuspid valve replacement with or without concomitant left-sided heart surgeries.

PHOENIX -- The Navitor transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR, TAVI) device was associated with a high pacemaker implantation rate in its pivotal study, but an analysis showed ways to bring that ...

Needing a permanent pacemaker after surgical aortic valve replacement (SAVR) was linked to mortality in Swedish registry data. Such risk was not apparent in the first few years: all-cause mortality ...

A patient-specific strategy focused on device positioning during TAVR procedures with a repositionable, self-expandable transcatheter heart valve (Evolut R/PRO; Medtronic) leads to significant ...

The incidence of implantation of a permanent pacemaker immediately after transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) increased significantly over a period of 6 years in Spain, and this rising trend ...

An aortic valve calcium score (AVCS) greater than 4510 arbitrary units independently predicts post–transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) conductive disorders requiring permanent pacemaker ...

Bottom Line: The need for a patient to have a permanent pacemaker implanted while hospitalized after undergoing a transcatheter aortic valve replacement is a complication associated with worse ...
