Prevalence and predictors of permanent pacemaker implantation in patients with aortic stenosis undergoing transcatheter aortic valve implantation: a prospective cohort study.

ABSTRACT:

Objectives

The primary objectives were to identify the predictors of new permanent pacemaker implantation in patients with aortic stenosis (AS) undergoing transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI). The secondary objectives were to investigate the temporal changes in permanent pacemaker implantation following TAVI and its impact on long-term prognosis.

Design

Prospective observational cohort study of patients with AS undergoing TAVI.

Setting

Single-centre study conducted at a tertiary hospital in Western Norway between 2012 and 2019.

Participants

Among 600 consecutive patients with severe AS who were treated with TAVI, 52 patients with permanent pacemaker prior to TAVI were excluded. The remaining 548 patients were included in the present study.
