Welcome to Mayo Clinic Connect!
I had the TAVR procedure a month ago.
I stayed overnight, routine there. However, the stay may be longer if there are complications.
It is not unusual to develop a heart block- the heart’s electrical system is located close to where the valve is placed.
I developed a left bundle branch block. They left a pacing wire in place postop in case they had to intervene. After a few hours I was stable and the wire was removed.
This type of complication can cause a longer hospital stay. Some patients may need a pacemaker.
I’m sorry I can’t give you a more precise answer.

I am glad that your procedure went well.
Are you still taking Eloquis and was there any discussion of the Watchman or Sentinal implant prior to your surgery?
The Cleveland Clinic implants them routinely with the TAVR but it seems that Mayo does not and the differenc confuses me.
