Clinical Trial Summary

Investigate the predictors of conduction abnormalities after TAVI, and in particular the predictive role of the tilt-angle during implantation.


Clinical Trial Description

The method of transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) which was introduced in 2002 by Alain Cribier et al. has offered new prospects for patients with severe aortic stenosis and multiple comorbidities, for whom surgical procedures are associated with exceedingly high operative risk (1,2).

The randomized multicenter PARTNER trial (Placement of Aortic Transcatheter valve Trial) proved that TAVI is an alternative for surgical aortic valve replacement (SAVR) for high-risk patients.TAVI is characterized by similar mortality and results in terms of reducing the symptoms of stenosis (3).

Current recommendations by the European Society of Cardiology in the Guidelines on the management of valvular heart disease (4) are that TAVI should be carried out in patients with a life expectancy >1 year, who deemed inoperable or high-risk by a cardiac surgeon and who are likely to gain improvement in quality of life. (5).

One of the complications based on the consensus of experts (the Valve Academic Research Consortium-2 (VARC-2 criteria)) is Conduction defect (6).

The mechanical interaction of the prosthesis stent frame with the conduction system and left bundle branch may lead to a high degree of or complete AV block and to left bundle branch block (LBBB) after TAVI.(7)

The pathophysiology of new conduction abnormalities has not yet been elucidated. A number of studies indicate that both patient and procedure related factors such as septal wall thickness, non-coronary cusp thickness, pre-existing RBBB, depth of valve implantation within the LVOT, post implant prosthesis expansion, and the type of prosthesis play a role , LVOT/ annulus ratio, LVOT/Prosethesis diameter..(8)(9)(10)(11)(12) ;
