Secondary endpoints were in-hospital mortality, 1-year mortality, bleeding, major vascular complications, myocardial infarction, stroke, incidence of pacemaker implantation, acute kidney injury and aortic regurgitation. The primary endpoint was mortality at 30 days. Results Seventeen studies were included, totalling 2811 patients.

Cardiac perforation (CP) and cardiac tamponade (CT) are rare but dreaded complications of transvenous temporary cardiac pacing (TTP), with variable reported incidences and impacts on morbidity and mortality. The role of serial echocardiography in accurately detecting these complications has not been comprehensively investigated.

But vascular complications, paravalvular regurgitation and need for permanent pacemaker are higher for TAVR. Surgical aortic valve replacement (SAVR) and transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) are both effective methods for treating adults with severe symptomatic aortic stenosis. Early mortality and stroke are a bit lower for TAVR.

To manage the complex comorbidities, we opted for dual-chamber pacemaker implantation. Meanwhile, a dual-chamber pacemaker can treat HCM by changing the sequence of myocardial contraction. Subsequent examinations and follow-up revealed that pacing significantly reduced LVOT obstruction and corrected heart rhythm.
