Clinical Significance of Greater Implantation Height with SAPIEN 3 Transcatheter Heart Valve.

CONCLUSIONS: Among TAVR patients who received the SAPIEN 3 heart valve, a higher AIH (≥0.85) was not associated with a lower rate of PPM implantation or increased operative mortality. Prior RBBB was the only independent risk factor for new PPM implantation. Long-term follow up is crucial in determining the clinical significance of PPM implantation.
