Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

Single-center randomized trial in patients with pacing indication (AV block) after TAVI (transfemoral aortic valve implantation) and LVEF\> 50%, that aims to study the percentage of patients who improve at 12 months in a combined clinical endpoint.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

There is currently no evidence of the best mode of definitive pacing after TAVI in patients with preserved systolic ventricular function and AV block. Through this study, investigators intend to elucidate the best post TAVI pacing strategy, comparing the effect of right apical pacing vs. physiological pacing on the evolution of both echocardiographic and clinical parameters.

Investigators will include 24 patients without ventricular dysfunction (LVEF\> 50%) and with AV block pacing indication after TAVI.

Patients will be randomized to 2 types of pacing (parallel randomized trial): physiological or right ventricular pacing (conventional).

PHYS-TAVI trial will analyze the following parameters in the 2 groups: survival; NYHA class; distance in the 6-minute walking test; hospital admissions; left ventricular function; echocardiographic asynchrony (strain and flash septal); NTproBNP; and quality of life/symptoms with the Kansas City Cardiomyopathy Questionnaire test (KCCQ-12)

Clinical, and echocardiographic follow-up will be performed for 1 year.

Participants Outcome Assessors
The patient will be explained to be randomized to either of the two branches. The type of therapy applied will not be communicated to the patient. The follow-up will be the same in the two branches. During the visits, it will not be said which therapy has been applied.

The echocardiographer and the follow-up by the Hemodynamic Team will be blind.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Physiological pacing

Lead placed in the His-Purkinje system (his or branch) in order to achieve QRS shortening and physiologic pacing. A backup lead will be implanted in the right ventricle.

If hisian pacing is not achieved (QRS is not shortened \> 20% or QRS is not \<130ms), the left bundle branch will be paced according to the criteria established in the literature (right branch block and intrinsic deflection \<85ms).

Crossover from physiological pacing to right ventricular pacing will be allowed in the following situations: failed physiological pacing lead implantation; high thresholds (\>3.5V / 1ms); no shortening of QRS (shortening \<20%) or failure to meet non-selective HBP criteria or left bundle branch pacing criteria.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Physiological pacing

Intervention Type DEVICE

Pacing of the his bundle or the left bundle branch

Right ventricular pacing

Lead placed in the right ventricle (conventional pacing).

Group Type ACTIVE_COMPARATOR

Right ventricular pacing
