Long-term outcome of patients undergoing pacemaker implantation after transcatheter aortic valve implantation : a systematic review and meta-analysi
Recent Publication
A meta-analysis from the Department of Internal Medicine III at St. Pölten University Hospital shows the long-term effects of pacemakers in patients who have undergone minimally invasive aortic valve implantation (TAVI). Around a fifth need a new pacemaker shortly after the operation, which slightly increases the risk of death. Factors such as diabetes or cardiac arrhythmia do not play a major role here. The study argues in favour of gentler TAVI methods and better pacemaker techniques. The article is freely available thanks to Open Access funding from Karl Landsteiner Private University.
