Abstract
Background
New-onset permanent pacemaker implantation (PPMI) is still a common complication after transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) with adverse clinical outcomes.
Objective
The purpose of this study was to investigate whether left bundle branch area pacing (LBBAP) improves long-term clinical results compared with traditional right ventricular pacing (RVP) in patients requiring PPMI after TAVI.
Methods
A total of 237 consecutive patients undergoing RVP (N = 117) or LBBAP (N = 120) after TAVI were retrospectively included. Long-term outcomes, including all-cause death, heart failure rehospitalization (HFH), and left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) change compared to baseline, were obtained until 5 years post-TAVI.
Results
The mean age of the overall population was 74 years, with a mean surgical risk score of 4.4%. The paced QRS duration was significantly longer in the RVP group compared with the LBBAP group (151 ± 18 vs 122 ± 12 ms; P < .001). No difference was found between the 2 groups in all-cause death (13.7% vs 13.3%; adjusted hazard ratio [HR], 0.76; 95% confidence interval [CI], 0.37–1.58; P = .466) or the composite endpoint of death and HFH (29.9% vs 19.2%; adjusted HR, 1.22; 95% CI, 0.70–2.13; P = .476); however, the risk of HFH was significantly higher in the RVP group at 5 years after TAVI (21.4% vs 7.5%; adjusted HR, 2.26; 95% CI, 1.01–5.08; P = .048). There was greater improvement of LVEF over time in the LBBAP group (P = .046 for LVEF changes over time between groups).
Conclusions
LBBAP improved long-term clinical outcomes compared with RVP in patients undergoing PPMI after TAVI in terms of less HFH and better LVEF improvement.
