Dobson LE, et al. 2017 [9]

88 patients with severe AS underwent TAVR. Ultimately, 24 patients with new left bundle branch block who were matched with 24 patients with a narrow post-procedure QRS were assessed.

40 patients were excluded for various reasons, (Death, PPM, withdrawal, right bundle branch block, post-procedural myocardial infarction in 23 patients; and an additional 17 because they were not matched to a control group. CMR results of those patients were not presented)
