| Abstract: | We report the case of a 51‐year‐old patient who developed a complete atrioventricular (AV) block during the isthmic radiofrequency catheter ablation of a typical atrial flutter. The cause was an acute occlusion of the segment three of the right coronary artery. His recanalization was associated with the immediate restoration of a normal AV conduction. The complication is exceptional (one of 740 consecutive atrial flutter ablations). (PACE 2010; 516–519) |
