About this trial
The study aims to compare permanent Conduction System Pacing (CSP) with the standard therapy - Right Ventricular Pacing (RVP) or Biventricular Pacing (BVP) - in preventing the development and progression of symptomatic Chronic Heart Failure (CHF) and improving survival in patients after Transcatheter Aortic Valve Implantation (TAVI).

Written informed consent
Age of at least 18 years
Disqualifiers
Permanent pacemaker implantation before TAVI procedure
The occurrence of conduction disturbances more than 30 days after TAVI procedure
No written informed consent
Inability to obtain informed consent from participant
