Managing new heart block after TAVI
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 or older and had a transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVI).
- You developed a new, persistent left bundle branch block (a type of heart block) that lasts more than 2 days after the procedure.
- You are expected to live at least 1 more year.
- You do not already have a pacemaker or defibrillator.
- You do not have severe memory problems or confusion.
- You are not pregnant or breastfeeding.

Other trials that look related to this one.
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 uses a portable heart monitor to watch for a serious heart rhythm problem called high-degree atrioventricular block in people who develop a new, persistent left bundle branch block after a TAVI valve procedure. It may help catch dangerous rhythm changes earlier and guide treatment sooner.
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 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 tests if special pacing of the heart's lower chambers (called cardiac resynchronization therapy, or CRT) can help people who develop a new electrical delay in the heart after having a transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVI). The study compares two types of pacing to see which works better for recovery.
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.
