A Streamline Strategy for Indication and Length of Telemetry Monitoring After TAVR.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Both indication and length of ECG telemetry monitoring (TM) after transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) are not well defined.

Aims

We hypothesize that a targeted strategy for monitoring conductive disorders (CD) post-TAVR can reduce the need and duration of in-hospital TM without compromising safety.

Methods

We prospectively evaluated consecutive patients undergoing transfemoral TAVR between February 2023 and September 2024. Intensive care unit (ICU) transfer for TM was considered when previous right bundle branch block or when new or worsening CD. TM duration was standardized, from 24 to 48 h. The primary endpoint was incidence of severe CD, defined as symptomatic or requiring medical intervention, occurring outside the ICU, at 1-month follow-up.
