Need for pacemaker implantation in patients with normal QRS duration immediately after transcatheter aortic valve implantation

Aims We sought to assess the need for permanent pacemaker implantation (PPI) in patients with QRS Methods and results We retrospectively analysed 1139 consecutive patients who underwent transfemoral TAVI between 2008 and 2016, receiving different valve types. All patients were surveyed by continuous ECG monitoring for 48 h, 12-lead ECGs starting immediately after procedure, as well as 24-h Holter recording the day before discharge.
