Preventive pacemaker for a specific heart rhythm during TAVR
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study looks at whether placing a permanent pacemaker as a precaution can prevent complications in people who have a right bundle branch block when they get a TAVR valve procedure. It may help reduce the need for emergency pacing after the procedure.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are scheduled to have TAVR for severe aortic valve narrowing
- You have a heart pumping strength (ejection fraction) of 40% or higher
- Your ECG shows a persistent right bundle branch block pattern
- You have not already had a pacemaker, and you don’t already need a pacemaker for another reason
- You can expect to live at least 1 year
- You can sign the study consent form in writing

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 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 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 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.
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.
