Predictors of conduction recovery after permanent pacemaker implantation following transcatheter aortic valve replacement

ConclusionsOne-third of patients receiving new PPM implantation have conduction recovery after TAVR, with 50% occurring within the first 6  months. Patient gender, valve size, and rhythm on serial ECGs after TAVR can help identify patients that may recover AV conduction. A conservative approach rather than immediate PPM implantation may be considered in these patients.
