Why the study?
With a move toward early discharge post-TAVI, better understanding of the predisposing factors, incidence, timing, and implications of delayed high-grade atrioventricular block was needed.
What are the risk factors, incidence, timing, and implications of delayed high-grade atrioventricular block after transcatheter aortic valve implantation?
What are the risk factors, incidence, timing, and implications of delayed high-grade atrioventricular block after transcatheter aortic valve implantation?
Delayed high-grade AV block is a common complication post-TAVI sharing risk factors with acute HGAVB, highlighting the need for careful monitoring especially with early discharge strategies.
Supports extended post-TAVI monitoring with early discharge; confirms shared risk factors for delayed and acute HGAVB.
Delayed HGAVB is a common and potentially serious complication of TAVI, with similar risk factors to acute HGAVB. With a move toward an early discharge strategy post-TAVI, further prospective study of delayed HGAVB is warranted to improve understanding of predisposing factors, incidence, timing, and implications.
