Biomechanical Identification of High-Risk Patients Requiring Permanent Pacemaker After Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement

BackgroundCardiac conduction disturbance requiring new permanent pacemaker implantation (PPI) is an important complication of TAVR that has been associated with increased mortality. It is extremely challenging to optimize the valve size alone to prevent a complete atrioventricular block (AVB).Method...
