Objectives: This study sought to determine the incidence, clinical characteristics, associated factors, and outcomes of late cerebrovascular events (LCVEs) (>30 days post-procedure) following transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR).
Background: Scarce data exist on LCVEs following TAVR.
Methods: This was a multicenter study including 3,750 consecutive patients (mean age, 80 ± 8 years; 50.
there is increasing interest for computing corrected QT intervals in patients with prolonged depolarization. We aimed to analyze the effect of prolonged QRS in the QT and in the diagnostic accuracy of frequency-correction. in 28 patients admitted for self-expanding aortic valve implantation, sequential pacing was performed in the AAI mode in two different phases: before and immediately after the release of the prosthesis.

However, no data exists regarding the outcomes of intraprocedural high-degree atrioventricular block (HAVB) or complete heart block (CHB) in patients without previous conduction disturbances.
Objectives: The aim of this study was to evaluate the outcomes of intraprocedural-HAVB/CHB in patients without previous intraventricular conduction disturbances.
Background: The aim of this study was to assess the safety and effectiveness of valve in valve (VIV) TAVI with the autoexpandable valve, specifically in patients with failed Mitroflow (MF) bioprosthetic aortic valves.
Methods: Pilot, single center, observational and prospective study that included 45 consecutive patients with symptomatic failed MF bioprosthetic aortic valve, referred for VIV TAVI. The safety primary endpoint was a composite of early events at 30 days, defined by VARC-2 criteria.
