Description

Tissue edema and inflammation, which occur at the device landing zone during valve deployment, may contribute to the pathophysiology of conduction abnormalities after transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR). We hypothesized that exposure to glucocorticoids prior to TAVR will reduce the incidence of conduction abnormalities requiring PPM implantation after TAVR.
