Permanent pacemaker implantation and left bundle branch block with self-expanding valves - a SCOPE 2 subanalysis

EuroInterventionPublished Secondary analysis of the SCOPE 2 randomised trial

Authors' conclusion

New LBBB and PPI rates were lower in ACURATE neo compared to CoreValve Evolut recipients. The ACURATE neo valve was associated with a lower risk of PPI at 30 days. No effect on 1-year mortality was determined for PPI at 30 days, while LBBB at 30 days was associated with reduced ejection fraction at 1 year.
