TAVI PACER: A Two-step Risk Score for Prediction of Permanent Pacemaker Implantation After TAVI. (TAVI PACER)

August 4, 2024 updated by: Julia Lueg, German Heart Institute
The need for permanent pacemaker implantation (PPMI) remains one of the most frequent complications after transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI). This study aimed to develop a novel, two-step risk score to predict PPMI probability after TAVI and to implement it into a user-friendly website. Our risk score addresses the gap in existing data on current prosthesis generations and provides a new and clinically motivated approach to calculating the risk for PPMI.

Study Population

Given the retrospective nature of the study, all patients who had undergone TAVI at the DHZC were included, with the exception of those meeting the exclusion criteria mentioned above. Consequently, the study population is primarily comprised of individuals aged 75 years and above, with a balanced gender distribution.

Following current guidelines, every patient undergoing TAVI received an initial assessment by a multidisciplinary heart team.

Description

Inclusion Criteria:

  • Patients undergoing TAVI at Deutsches Herzzentrum der Charité between January 2019 and December 2020

Exclusion Criteria:

  • previous device implantation
  • valve-in-valve procedure
  • patients who had received an ALLEGRATM valve (NVT AG, Morges, Switzerland), a LOTUS EdgeTM valve (Boston, Scientific, Natick, Massachusetts), or a CENTERATM valve (Edwards Lifesciences, Irvine, California)
