Key result
Direct LV pacing during TAVR increasingly replaces RV pacing to potentially reduce cost and radiation.
Why the study?
Conventional RV pacing during TAVR requires venous access and risks perforation or tamponade, prompting alternative methods like direct LV pacing with stiff guidewires.
Does direct left ventricle pacing via stiff guidewire improve safety and efficiency compared to conventional right ventricle pacing during TAVR?

LV guidewire pacing may reduce TAVR costs and duration; leaves open need for RCTs to confirm safety.
Does direct left ventricle pacing via stiff guidewire improve safety and efficiency compared to conventional right ventricle pacing during TAVR?
Direct left ventricular pacing via a stiff guidewire is emerging as a potentially safer and more efficient alternative to conventional right ventricular pacing during TAVR.
Berman et al. (2024) conducted a review in Severe aortic stenosis. Direct left ventricle pacing vs. Right ventricle pacing was evaluated. Direct left ventricular pacing during TAVR is increasingly adopted as an alternative to conventional right ventricular pacing to potentially reduce procedure cost, duration, and radiation exposure.
