Pathophysiology, incidence and predictors of conduction disturbances during Transcatheter Aortic Valve Implantation

Introduction: Over the past decade, transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) has evolved rapidly toward an extremely reproducible, safe and effective procedure, with a marked reduction of its related complications. However, the occurrence of conduction disturbances and the need for permanent pacemaker implantation (PPI) after TAVI remains a concern.Areas covered: In this article review, we will go through the mechanisms involved in...
