Electrophysiologic HV-interval as a Predicor for Permanent Pacemaker Implantation After TAVI

Klinik für Kardiologie, Pneumologie und Angiologie

Status: Completed

Conditions: Symptomatic Aortic Valve Stenosis

Study type: Observational

Identifiers

NCT01801098

HV-interval prior TAVI

Details and patient eligibility

About

The development of a high grade AV-block is a frequent complication associated with transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI). Patients who were suitable for TAVI will be enrolled in this study. The HV-interval will be determined before and immediately after implantation.

The hypothesis is that a prolonged HV-interval is associated with a high rate of complete AV-block following TAVI.

Enrollment: 25 patients
