Overview
Study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of a non-invasive electrocardiographic monitoring strategy associated with early discharge in patients with conduction disorder after transfemoral TAVI implantation, and its potential benefits compared to standard care.

Eligibility
Inclusion Criteria:
All inclusion criteria must be met
- Age ≥ 18 years and
- Undergone successful transfemoral or transaortic TAVI for severe aortic stenosis and
- Presence of at least one of the following conduction disorders and
- Pre-procedural basal conduction disorder (e.g., right/left bundle branch block, bifascicular block, IVCD) with QRS between 120-160 msec.
- De novo conduction disorder after TAVI (de novo bundle branch block) with QRS between 120-160 msec.
- Clinical stability at 24 hours post-procedure and
- Capacity to give informed consent.
Exclusion Criteria:
No exclusion criteria must be met
- Immediate indication for permanent pacemaker following the procedure.
- Persistent complete atrioventricular block.
- QRS \>160 msec and/or PR prolongation.
- Haemodynamic instability or complications of TAVI (major bleeding, stroke, decompensated heart failure) that contraindicate early discharge.
- Technical or clinical impossibility of using the PhysioMem PM 1004G monitoring system.
- Life expectancy \< 12 months due to non-cardiovascular comorbidity.
- Refusal or inability to undergo outpatient follow-up.
- Pregnant or breastfeeding.
