Background: Conduction disturbances requiring permanent pacemaker implantation (PPI) remain a common complication of transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR).
Objective: The purpose of this study was to determine the prognostic impact of PPI after TAVR according to the timing of implantation relative to TAVR.
Methods: A total of 1199 patients (median age 83 years; interquartile range 78-86 years; 549 [45.
Background: Heart failure (HF) readmission is common post-transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR). Nonetheless, limited data are available regarding its predictors and clinical impact. This study evaluated the incidence, predictors, and impact of HF readmission within 1-year post-TAVR, and assessed the effects of the prescription of HF therapies at discharge on the risk of HF readmission and death.

Method: This was a prospective study over 13 months in 14 French hospitals, including patients ≥75 years of age with definite or possible IE. A comprehensive geriatric assessment (CGA) was performed during the first week of hospitalization, including a retrospective estimation of functional status 2 months before hospitalization, and 3 months after.
Background: Patient selection for transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) remains a major concern. Indeed, despite promising results, it is still unclear which patients are most and least likely to benefit from this procedure.
Aims: To identify predictors of 6-month poor clinical outcomes after TAVI.
