چکیده
OBJECTIVES The aim of this study was to determine the impact of new-onset persistent left bundle branch block (NOP-LBBB) on late outcomes after transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI). BACKGROUND The impact of NOP-LBBB after TAVI remains controversial. METHODS A total of 668 consecutive patients who underwent TAVI with a balloon-expandable valve without pre-existing LBBB or permanent pacemaker implantation (PPI) were included. Electrocardiograms were obtained at baseline, immediately after the procedure, and daily until hospital discharge. Patients were followed at 1, 6, and 12 months and yearly thereafter. RESULTS New-onset LBBB occurred in 128 patients (19.2%) immediately after TAVI and persisted at hospital discharge in 79 patients (11.8%). At a median follow-up of 13 months (range 3 to 27 months), there were no differences in mortality rate between the NOP-LBBB and no NOP-LBBB groups (27.8% vs. 28.4%; adjusted-hazard ratio: 0.87 [95% confidence interval (CI): 0.55 to 1.37]; p = 0.54). There were no differences between groups regarding cardiovascular mortality (p = 0.82), sudden death (p = 0.87), rehospitalizations for all causes (p = 0.11), or heart failure (p = 0.55). NOP-LBBB was the only factor associated with an increased rate of PPI during the follow-up period (13.9% vs. 3.0%; hazard ratio: 4.29 [95% CI: 2.03 to 9.07], p < 0.001. NOP-LBBB was also associated with a lack of left ventricular ejection fraction improvement and poorer New York Heart Association functional class at follow-up (p < 0.02 for both). CONCLUSIONS NOP-LBBB occurred in ∼1 of 10 patients who had undergone TAVI with a balloon-expandable valve. NOP-LBBB was associated with a higher rate of PPI, a lack of improvement in left ventricular ejection fraction, and a poorer functional status, but did not increase the risk of global or cardiovascular mortality or rehospitalizations at 1-year follow-up.

BACKGROUND Direct transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) is regarded as having potential advantages over TAVR with balloon aortic valve predilatation (BAVP) in reducing procedural complications, but there are few data to support this approach. METHODS AND RESULTS Patients included in the Brazilian TAVR registry with CoreValve and Sapien-XT prosthesis were compared according to the impl...

SEE PAGE 805 T he occurrence of conduction disturbances and the need for permanent pacemaker implantation remain a significant issue associated with transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) (1). Indeed, the contiguity of the conduction system to the aortic annulus (landing zone of transcatheter valve prostheses) makes this procedure likely to develop this complication (2). To date, several...

Transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) is now an established treatment option for patients with aortic stenosis who are considered to be at high or prohibitive surgical risk. Substantial improvements in technology, patient selection, and refined procedural techniques have provided the basis for TAVRs expansion toward treating a lower surgical risk aortic stenosis population. However, the...
