| Abstract: | The development of complete heart block during left-sided cardiac catheterization is an uncommon event. We describe three cases of complete heart block complicating left-sided cardiac catheterization of patients with cardiac allografts. Review of the cases performed at our institution suggests that complete heart block during left-sided catheterization may be more common in patients with cardiac allografts. |
