Official Title: HV Electrophysiology Study In Transcatheter Aortic Valve Implantation Patients
Brief Summary:
TAVI induced LBBB is a complication that occurs between 7 and 65 % of the cases, numbers that differ considerably between devices. There is an increased risk of progression to total AV‐block at follow‐up, with the risk of brady‐arrhythmic death.
The aim of the study is to elucidate the anatomical location of the conduction pathology of a TAVI induced LBBB. This could impact valve design and placement and thereby reduce the number of new LBBB induced by TAVI in the future. Furthermore, finding predictors for progression to a high degree AV block in the follow‐up (and thus an indication for permanent pacemaker) could improve management of post‐operative conduction abnormalities and prevent the risk of brady‐arrhythmic death.
