Condition: Aortic Valve Stenosis · Sponsor: University Hospital, Brest
Aortic valve stenosis is the most common valve disease leading to surgical or percutaneous intervention in Europe and North America. Percutaneous aortic valve replacement (TAVI) is currently recommended for the management of patients with symptomatic aortic stenosis and with high; very high operative risk of aortic valve replacement surgery or intermediate operative risk of aortic valve replacement surgery after a benefit-risk assessment by a heart team and operative contraindication to conventional aortic valve replacement surgery. These indications are supported by the 2017 European Cardiology guidelines. This technique of percutaneous arterial valve implantation is most often performed via the femoral route, under local anesthesia, with placement of a prosthetic biological valve in the aortic position, impacting it into the patient's native aortic valve. TAVI has been shown to be superior to medical treatment in patients with a aortic valve stenosis at very high operative risk of conventional aortic valve replacement surgery. However, the occurrence of atrioventricular conduction disorders (de novo left bundle branch block (LBBB) or complete AVB) remains the most frequent complication after TAVI. Therefore, the rate of pacemaker (PM) implantation after TAVI remains high, ranging from 2% to 51%, with an average rate of 13%. Pacemaker implantation has several deleterious effects (increased hospitalization time, desynchronization of the left ventricle by permanent right ve…
