Predictors of cardiac conduction disorders in patients after aortic valve replacement by M.M. Zaretskyi, B.M. Todurov, O.M. Grytsay, V.B. Demyanchuk, O.V. Zelenchuk

“…The most common complications after aortic valve surgery are similar to those of other cardiac surgeries which include: stroke, deep sternal wound infection, re-operation due to bleeding, myocardial infarction (1–5 %). Cardiac arrhythmias that appear after AVR surgery and require permanent pacemaker (PPM) implantation arise in connection with the anatomical features of the aortic valve, its pathological changes, and traumatic intervention during valve defect correction. …”
