5. Study Description

Brief Summary
The purpose of the study is to investigate the superiority of chronic left bundle branch area pacing compared to traditional right ventricular (RV) septal pacing in patients with high-grade conduction disease after transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR). In this investigator initiated, multicenter, prospective, double-blinded, crossover study, chronic left bundle branch area pacing will be compared to chronic right ventricular septal pacing using echocardiographic measures of left ventricular systolic function in patients with a high cumulative ventricular pacing burden after TAVR.
