Can a quick heart pacing test after TAVI predict pacemaker need?
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study checks if a short, controlled heart pacing procedure right after your TAVI (a valve replacement) can tell doctors whether you might need a permanent pacemaker later. It aims to help avoid unnecessary pacemakers.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be 18 or older.
- You are scheduled for TAVI surgery for severe aortic stenosis (a tight heart valve).
- Your heart rhythm is normal sinus rhythm (a steady beat).
- You do not already have a pacemaker or defibrillator.
- You do not have a serious heart block on your pre-surgery ECG (an electrical test of your heart).
- You are willing to have a temporary pacemaker placed during the TAVI procedure for this test.

This trial compares two ways to pace the heart after a TAVI procedure for people who need a pacemaker. It aims to find which pacing method works better for preserving heart function.
This trial compares two pacemaker placement approaches in people who need a permanent pacemaker after a TAVI procedure for aortic valve disease. It may help doctors choose the pacing method that works best for heart function and safety.
This study looks at whether electrical problems in the heart that appear after a TAVI valve replacement can go away on their own. It will help doctors decide which patients might need a pacemaker and which might get better without one.
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 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 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.
