Learning Objectives:
- Examine a case of conduction disturbance (high-degree AV block) to review risk factors like valve type and implantation depth, and strategies for intraoperative monitoring.
- Discuss case-specific interventions such as temporary pacing and criteria for permanent pacemaker implantation, including impacts on long-term mortality and ventricular function.
- Explore preventive measures from the case, including pre-procedural ECG analysis and next-generation valve designs to reduce conduction risks.
