Key result
Pre-existing right bundle branch block was an independent predictor of permanent pacemaker implantation after sutureless aortic valve replacement (OR 11.3; P=0.0002).
Why the study?
What are the predicting factors for postoperative permanent pacemaker implantation in patients undergoing sutureless aortic valve replacement with the Perceval bioprosthesis?

Pre-existing RBBB may increase PPM risk after Perceval AVR; extends predictor identification but should not yet change practice without prospective validation.

What are the predicting factors for postoperative permanent pacemaker implantation in patients undergoing sutureless aortic valve replacement with the Perceval bioprosthesis?
Odds Ratio: 11.3
p-value: p=0.0002
Pre-existing right bundle branch block is a strong independent predictor of the need for permanent pacemaker implantation following sutureless aortic valve replacement with the Perceval bioprosthesis.
Vogt et al. (2015) conducted a cohort in Aortic valve replacement (n=258). Pre-existing right bundle branch block (RBBB) vs. Absence of RBBB was evaluated on Postoperative permanent pacemaker (PPM) implantation (OR 11.3, p=0.0002). Pre-existing right bundle branch block was an independent predictor of permanent pacemaker implantation after sutureless aortic valve replacement (OR 11.3; P=0.0002).
