A high incidence of arrhythmic events was observed at 1-year follow-up in close to one-half of the patients with LBBB post-TAVR. Significant bradyarrhythmias occurred in one-fifth of the patients, and PPM was required in nearly one-half of them. These data support the use of a cardiac monitoring device for close follow-up and expediting the initiation of treatment in this challenging group of patients. (Ambulatory Electrocardiographic Monitoring for the Detection of High-Degree Atrio-Ventricular Block in Patients With New-onset PeRsistent LEft Bundle Branch Block After Transcatheter Aortic Valve Implantation [MARE study]: NCT02153307).

Background-Predictors of antiplatelet therapy discontinuation (ATD) during the first year after drug-eluting stent implantation are poorly known. Methods and Results-This was a prospective study with 3-, 6-, 9-, and 12-month follow-up of patients receiving at least 1 drug-eluting stent between January
