Can heart electrical problems after TAVI get better?
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You had a TAVI procedure to replace your aortic valve.
- Your ECG shows a new electrical delay in the heart that started right after the TAVI, specifically a left bundle branch block (LBBB) with a wide QRS (over 150 ms) or a very long PR interval (over 240 ms), or your QRS or PR interval got wider by more than 20 ms.
- This electrical problem was still present 2 days or more after the TAVI.
- You do not already have a pacemaker or an implanted defibrillator.
- You did not have a complete right bundle branch block before the TAVI.

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 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 whether using a portable heart monitor for a month after a TAVI procedure can better detect irregular heartbeats compared to standard care. The goal is to catch and treat any issues early.
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.
This study looks at markers of inflammation and scarring in people who develop heart rhythm problems after having a TAVI procedure (a minimally invasive valve replacement). It may help doctors understand and predict these complications.
This study tests an algorithm—a step-by-step plan—for how doctors manage abnormal heart rhythms after transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR). It may help guide safer, more consistent care in the weeks after the procedure.
