Preventive pacemaker for heart block after aortic valve replacement
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This trial tests whether getting a pacemaker right after a procedure to replace the aortic valve can prevent dangerous slow heart rhythms in people with a specific heart rhythm condition. If you have this condition, a pacemaker might help you stay safe and recover better.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are having a procedure to replace your aortic valve because it is severely narrowed.
- You have a specific heart rhythm pattern called right bundle branch block, which shows up on an ECG.
- Your heart's pumping strength is at least 40%.
- You do not already have a pacemaker or a reason to need one.
- You are expected to live at least one more year.

This trial studies people who had a heart valve procedure called TAVI and later had a heart rhythm problem. You will get a tiny heart monitor placed under your skin to track your heart rhythm over time and help doctors understand how common these problems are.
This study tests whether continuing a beta-blocker (a heart medication) improves outcomes for people having a planned TAVR (a minimally invasive heart-valve replacement). It may help doctors decide whether to keep or stop this medicine after the procedure.
This trial compares a newer pacing technique (left bundle branch area stimulation) with standard pacing in people who need a pacemaker after TAVI (a valve replacement procedure). It aims to see if the newer method works better for keeping the heart's rhythm stable.
This study compares two ways to decide when someone needs a pacemaker after they get a new heart valve (TAVI) and develop a new, persistent left bundle branch block (LBBB). It may help reduce unnecessary procedures while still keeping heart rhythms safe.
This study looks at people who develop a new heart block (left bundle branch block) after having a minimally invasive aortic valve replacement. Researchers want to find the best way to manage this condition to prevent future heart problems.
This trial looks at a physiologic (more natural) heart pacing approach to prevent weakening of the heart’s main pumping chamber after TAVI. It enrolls people who recently had TAVI and now meet standard reasons for needing a permanent pacemaker.
