New-onset conduction disturbances still represent a considerable problem after transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI). The aim of this study was to identify calcification patterns with an elevated risk for permanent pacemaker implantation (PPI) after TAVI and investigate underlying mechanisms in an ex vivo setting.
