CONCLUSIONS:
Of all pacemaker implanted within 6 months post TAVR, about 15.5% pacemakers are implanted in patients after discharge from a TAVR procedure. There is sharp increase in pacemaker implantations in patients discharged after a TAVR procedure, with two-thirds of procedures occurring withing the first 14 days after discharge. The rate of implantation seems to flatten at 3 weeks after discharge and a steady increase thereafter. Further studies in post-TAVR rhythm monitoring may be beneficial to identify these patients sooner and prevent associated morbidity.
