BACKGROUND The high-degree atrioventricular block(HAVB)in patients with bicuspid aortic valve(BAV)treated with transcatheter aortic valve implantation(TAVI)remains high.The study aims to explore this poorly understood subject of mech-anisms and predictors for HAVB in BAV self-expandable TAVI patients.METHODS We retrospectively included 181 BAV patients for analysis.Using computed tomography data,the curvature of ascending aorta(AAo)was quantified by the angle(AAo angle)between annulus and the cross-section at 35 mm above annulus(where the stent interacts with AAo the most).The valvular anatomy and leaflet calcification were also characterized.RESULTS The 30-day HAVB rate was 16.0％(median time to HAVB was three days).Type-1 morphology was found in 79 pat-ients(43.6％)(left-and right-coronary cusps fusion comprised 79.7％).Besides implantation below membrane septum,large AAo angle[odds ratio(OR)=1.08,P=0.016]and type-1 morphology(OR=4.97,P=0.001)were found as the independent predictors for HAVB.Together with baseline right bundle branch block,these predictors showed strong predictability for HAVB with area under the cure of 0.84(sensitivity=62.1％,specificity=92.8％).Bent AAo and calcified raphe had a synergistic effect in facilita-ting high implantation,though the former is associated with at-risk deployment(device implanted above annulus+prothesis pop-out,versus straight AAo:9.9％vs.2.2％,P=0.031).CONCLUSIONS AAo curvature and type-1 morphology are novel predictors for HAVB in BAV patients following self-expandable TAVI.For patients with bent AAo or calcified raphe,a progressive approach to implant the device above the lower edge of membrane septum is favored,though should be done cautiously to avoid pop-out.
