LONDON, England—New research has identified several high-risk variables associated with the need for a new permanent pacemaker after TAVI for aortic stenosis. None on the list are among the more ...

Among Medicare beneficiaries, implantation was especially frequent for female patients and those undergoing tricuspid valve replacement with or without concomitant left-sided heart surgeries.

An aortic valve calcium score (AVCS) greater than 4510 arbitrary units independently predicts post–transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) conductive disorders requiring permanent pacemaker ...

Needing a permanent pacemaker after surgical aortic valve replacement (SAVR) was linked to mortality in Swedish registry data. Such risk was not apparent in the first few years: all-cause mortality ...

The incidence of implantation of a permanent pacemaker immediately after transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) increased significantly over a period of 6 years in Spain, and this rising trend ...

CRT is a surgical procedure in which doctors implant a pacemaker in both the right and left sides of the heart to help your heart’s chambers beat together. The goal is to improve heart pumping ...

Implantation of a permanent pacemaker (PPM) in the 30 days after TAVI isn’t associated with worse long-term survival or higher risk of heart failure or endocarditis, according to a new analysis of the ...

The thin, flexible, lightweight device could be used in patients who need temporary pacing after cardiac surgery or while waiting for a permanent pacemaker. All components of the pacemaker are ...

While you might be more familiar with permanent pacemakers, temporary versions of the device are sometimes needed after open-heart surgery, heart attacks, or overdoses. The problem is these devices ...

Researchers at Northwestern and George Washington (GW) universities have developed the first-ever transient pacemaker -- a wireless, battery-free, fully implantable pacing device that disappears after ...
