Abstract
Permanent pacemaker implantation is the most common complication after Transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) and is associated with worse outcomes and mortality. However, its impact on quality-of-life (QoL) outcomes remains unknown. We included 383 consecutive patients undergoing TAVR from January 2012 to 2016 who completed a baseline Kansas City Cardiomyopathy Questionnaire (KCCQ-12) health survey. The clinical, laboratory, angiographic, QoL, mortality, and occurrence of poor outcomes (KCCQ-12 score < 45 or KCCQ decrease of ≥10 points) were obtained. The mean age was 83 ± 8 years, 51% were men, and majority were Caucasians (n = 364, 95%). Permanent pacemaker (PPM) was implanted in 11.5% of patients post-TAVR. PPM patients were more likely to have prior conduction disease including RBBB (25% vs 12%, P = .02) and PQ interval >250 ms (11% vs 5%, P = .07). One-month median KCCQ-12 scores were significantly lower among PPM patients (84.7 vs 68.8, P = .04), but did not differ significantly at 1-year (86.5 vs 90.6, P = .5) post-TAVR. Occurrence of poor outcomes did not differ significantly among those with or without PPM at 1 month (11% vs 7%, P = .39) and 1 year (13% vs 9%, P = .45), respectively. However, patients with poor...Continue Reading
