    Transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) is increasingly used for aortic stenosis, especially in patients with lower surgical risk.

  • 2

    Conduction abnormalities, leading to permanent pacemaker implantation, are common after both TAVR and surgical aortic valve replacement.

  • 3

    The study compared outcomes of TAVR with percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) versus surgical aortic valve replacement with coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG).

  • 4

    A total of 1,232 patients were screened, with 120 matched patients analyzed for conduction disturbances and pacing needs.

  • 5

    The findings highlight the need for further research on long-term outcomes of conduction disturbances following valve interventions.
