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 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 uses a portable heart monitor (like a Holter) for about 2 weeks after TAVI to check for hidden heart rhythm problems. It aims to find issues early so you get the right treatment.
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.
