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).

Fulfilled criteria for permanent pacemaker implantation according do 2021 ESC guidelines

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
