Transcatheter aortic valve replacement and cardiac conduction.

Transcatheter aortic valve replacement and cardiac conduction. Expert Rev Cardiovasc Ther. 2019 Mar 26;: Authors: Shreenivas S, Schloss E, Choo J, Sarembock I, Lilly S, Kereiakes D Abstract INTRODUCTION: Conduction abnormalities after Transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) account for a high percentage of post TAVR complications. Areas covered: The etiology of conduction abnormalities is closely tied to cardiac anatomy (length of membranous septum, degree of calcification, location of left bundle within the membranous septum), baseline conduction abnormalities (pre-procedure right bundle branch block), and procedural variables (type of valve, depth of implant). Management of new high-grade AV block and new left bundle branch block varies by institution in the absence of consensus guidelines. Expert opinion: Authors describe the incidence, etiology, outcomes, and management of conduction abnormalities related to aortic stenosis and TAVR. PMID: 30912984 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
