Complete block below the His bundle induced by left-sided cardiac catheterization.
A patient with right bundle branch block and left anterior fascicular block developed complete heart block during passage of a catheter into the left ventricle. Intracardiac electrograms showed the block to be in the distal His-Purkinje system. The block resolved without complications.
