OBJECTIVES: The authors sought to evaluate the incidence, predictors, and outcomes of new permanent pacemaker implantation (PPI) after transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) with contemporary self-expanding valves (SEV).
BACKGROUND: Need for PPI is frequent post-TAVR, but conflicting data exist on...
