Abstract
Severe aortic stenosis with complex coronary artery disease presents challenges in patients unsuitable for surgery. Persistent left bundle branch block (LBBB) after transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) may impair ventricular recovery.
A 67-year-old man underwent high-risk left main-left anterior descending percutaneous coronary intervention, complicated by cardiogenic shock and severe left ventricular (LV) dysfunction. Subsequent TAVR achieved favorable valve hemodynamics but was followed by new-onset left bundle branch block and persistent LV dysfunction. Left bundle branch pacing achieved complete correction only at high output. A coronary sinus lead was added for left bundle branch-optimized cardiac resynchronization therapy with a defibrillator (LOT-CRTD). At 3 months, LV function fully recovered with reverse remodeling and marked symptom improvement. Why Beyond the Guideline: Optimal percutaneous coronary intervention-TAVR timing and device strategies for post-TAVR LBBB with LV dysfunction remain poorly defined in current guidelines.
LOT-CRTD may provide effective cardiac resynchronization when isolated left bundle branch pacing cannot achieve optimal correction.
Sequence of PCI-TAVR remained individualized. LOT-CRT is a viable strategy to facilitate ventricular recovery for post-TAVR LBBB.
