Impact of pacemaker mode in patients with atrioventricular conduction disturbance after trans ‐catheter aortic valve implantation

ConclusionsUp to half of patients implanted for high‐degree AVCD after TAVI had conduction recovery. Patients with cDDD programming at hospital discharge had more pacemaker dependency and a worse cardiac prognosis. Thus, pacemaker mode should be systematically set to promote spontaneous atrioventricular conduction in patients with pacemaker implantation after TAVI.
