Pacemaker Implantation for Low‐Grade Conduction Abnormalities After Balloon‐Expandable Transcatheter Aortic Valve Implantation
In our cohort of 1038 TAVI patients, 19 patients underwent PMI for borderline CAs (11.5% of all PMI). Of these, only 2 patients had high pacing amounts after 6 weeks. The risk of complete persisting heart block in these patients is very low. Furthermore, algorithms to reduce ventricular pacing are highly effective to avoid ventricular pacing whenever reasonable.
