Incidence of arrhythmias and impact of permanent pacemaker implantation in hospitalizations with transcatheter aortic valve replacement.

ABSTRACT:

Background

This study sought to analyze in-hospital outcomes associated with preexisting and newly implanted permanent pacemaker (PPM) in patients who underwent transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR). PPM implantation following the development of conduction abnormalities is a common adverse event following TAVR. Furthermore, PPM implantation rates are higher in TAVR hospitalizations compared with the surgical alternative, thus we have analyzed the predictors of pacing post-TAVR.

Hypothesis

We hypothesize that incidence of arrhythmias are high post-TAVR and have worse adverse outcomes after receiving PPM.

Methods

The study population was identified from the National Inpatient Sample database between 2012 and 2014. TAVR population was identified using ICD-9-CM pr
