Tricuspid Valve Annuloplasty and Mitral Valve Replacement are Associated with Bradyarrhythmia after Mitral Valve Surgery

ConclusionsAfter mitral valve surgery a relevant subgroup of patients requires pacemaker implantation – most for atrioventricular block. We identified mitral valve replacement and tricuspid ring annuloplasty as significant operative risk factors and insulin dependent diabetes mellitus as a demographic risk factor. While anatomic relationships help explain the operative risk factors the role of dia betes mellitus is not completely understood.This article is protected by copyright. All rights reserved.
