Rapid Atrial Pacing After TAVI to Predict Pacemaker Implantation

NCT06189976

Despite Transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) evolution regarding techniques, equipment and experience, the need for permanent pacemaker implantation (PPI) post-TAVI remains an important drawback. The electrophysiology testing to…

MRI in Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement Patients

NCT05603026

The hypothesis is that SEV result in superior valvular hemodynamics (more pronounced during exercise) and exercise capacity relative to BEV. Furthermore, the hypothesis is that stress CMR will be able to demonstrate differences in these he…
