Abstract
Background
Conduction disturbances and the subsequent need for permanent pacemaker implantation (PPMI) remain a major limitation of transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) with self-expanding transcatheter heart valves (SE-THVs). The cusp-overlap technique (COT) has been proposed to optimize implantation depth and reduce PPMI rates compared to the standard three-cusp technique (3CT).
