Pacemaker post transcatheter aortic valve replacement: A multifactorial risk?

Abstract

Pacemaker post-transcatheter aortic valve replacement is related to multifactorial risk. Nwaedozie et al brought to the body of evidence electrocardiogram and clinical findings. However, procedural characteristics have at least as much impact on the final need for a permanent pacemaker and potentially on the pacing rate. In this regard, long-term follow-up and understanding of the impact of long-term stimulation is of utmost importance.
