Management of Conduction Disturbances Post. TAVR MC-006247 Rev 0 • New conduction system abnormalities after TAVR are common and can be associated with increased morbidity, cost, and length of stay (LOS) • Ideal strategy for rhythm management has not been identified • Recent ACC/AHA Consensus document offered less than definitive guidance • As TAVR volume increases and procedural efficiencies are emphasized, what strategies can be used for management of new conduction disturbances post TAVR?
ACC/AHA Consensus Document MC-006247 Rev 0 • “This expert report document represents an initial effort to provide a comprehensive and structured guide for managing patients with conduction disturbances post-TAVR and a framework for future research…” • “…It should be considered a work in progress and the recommendations regarded as suggestions based on current evidence and consensus opinion of a group of experts in the field. ” Rodés-Cabau JACC, Volume 74, Issue 8, August 2019

Define the Problem: Post TAVR Conduction MC-006247 Rev 0 • Intraprocedural Complete Heart Block (CHB) that is transient – “Transient”: resolves within an hour of the procedure and does not recur • Intraprocedural CHB that persists • Late CHB: more than an hour after TAVR • New BBB – Persistent vs transient – Width of the QRS • Bradycardia is not TAVR related
Procedural and Patient Specific Risk Factors for PPM After TAVR MC-006247 Rev 0 • Patient Risk Factors for PPM – Pre-existing RBBB – Pre-existing 1 st degree AV block – Age • Valve deployment matters – High implant associated with lower PPM rate (esp. with Evolut™) – Oversizing associated with Higher PPM rate – Evolut™ vs SAPIEN™ (can be mitigated) Rodés-Cabau JACC, Volume 74, Issue 8, August 2019

Sentara TAVR Program: Coastal Virginia • 2000 TAVR • 450 TAVR 2019 – 210 SAPIEN™ – 225 Evolut™ – 15 LOTUS Edge™/Portico™/ACURATE neo ™ • 99% Conscious Sedation • 80% next day discharge • 5 TAVR/day; one team • 2019 Pacemaker Rate: 4. 6% – SAPIEN™: 4. 2% – Evolut™: 5. 1% • 2018 Pacemaker Rate: 7% • 2017 Pacemaker Rate: 8. 5% • 2016 Pacemker Rate: 11% MC-006247 Rev 0
MC-006247 Rev 0 Developing Strategy • Programmatic effort for procedural efficiency • Unified approach for rhythm management • Met with EP leadership and developed protocolized strategy; avoid “re-inventing the wheel” on case by case basis
Develop a Protocol Driven, Institution Specific Approach with EP • Intra-procedural • Post-Procedural • Post-Discharge MC-006247 Rev 0
Intraprocedural • Which temp wire to start? – Non-RBBB: any temp wire – RBBB: Active fixation lead exteriorized to pacer box via 7 Fr. Sheath; plan to leave in overnight MC-006247 Rev 0

MC-006247 Rev 0 LV Pacing Wires LV pacing wires that function as both TAVR wire and have pacing capabilities are being developed and will be available soon Wattson™ Temporary Pacing Guidewire shown at left • Designed to help reduce the risk of RV perforation • Eliminate need for routine use of central venous access • Procedural efficiency Images courtesy of Paul Mahoney, MD
MC-006247 Rev 0 Intraprocedural Conduction Disturbance • Non-RBBB – No change in rhythm: Pull temp wire – Change in rhythm: Screw in lead from neck – No one gets PPM day of procedure – 7 am POD #1: Decision time
Procedural Approach: Non-RBBB MC-006247 Rev 0 TAVR: Non-RBBB No change in Conduction Pull Temp Pacer in Hybrid Home Transient HB or Trans/Persist BBB Persistent HB Temp Pacemaker overnight – Active Fixation Lead Home with MCOT PPM POD #1
Procedural Approach: RBBB MC-006247 Rev 0 TAVR: RBBB No change in Conduction Transient HB Persistent HB Temp Pacemaker overnight – Active Fixation Lead Home with MCOT PPM POD #1
Post Procedure: Protocolize When EP Gets Involved • Involve EP when: – Pacemaker needed (CHB post implant) – Very Wide QRS (> 160 msec) • Call on day of procedure, for possible pacer POD #1, to reserve time in EP lab MC-006247 Rev 0
MC-006247 Rev 0 Protocolize When EP Gets Involved • Do not call EP for: – Bradycardia – Afib – BBB with QRS < 160 msec – Because you want a monitor
MC-006247 Rev 0 Post-Discharge • 14 -28 day continuous Telemetry • Communicate with patients’ role and reason
MC-006247 Rev 0 Caveats • There is a consensus document; be aware when you deviate from it • Create a written protocol • Track your outcomes
MC-006247 Rev 0 Sentara Experience • 4. 6% PPM rate all comers last 500 TAVR • 20% of patients home with MCOT • 7% of MCOT patients require PPM – None in first 24 hours – CHB Day 2 to Day 16 of monitoring – No deaths (couple near misses, all > 5 days)
