Abstract

Permanent pacemaker implantation (PPI) has been shown to occur more frequently with self-expanding (SE) compared to balloon-expandable (BE) TAVR valves, with a 17% incidence in a recent clinical trial. For the Evolut SE valve range, the manufacturer recommends a depth of implantation (DOI) 3-5 mm below the annulus in a plane coaxial to the device. This depth may not be consistent circumferentially if not in the annular plane. We hypothesized that valve implantation in the annular plane would result in low PPI rates by preventing deep implantation.
