Incidence and predictors of permanent pacemaker implantation following transcatheter aortic valve implantation: Analysis from the german transcatheter aortic valve interventions registry

Abstract

PPM is a common postprocedure requirement after TAVI. The absence of prior valve surgery, the implantation of Medtronic CoreValve™ prosthesis, and the presence of a porcelain aorta were independently associated with PPM after TAVI.
