  • Title: Ventricular standstill complicating left heart catheterization in the presence of uncomplicated right bundle branch block.
    Author: Gaglani RD, Turk AA, Mehra MR, Lach RD.
    Journal: Cathet Cardiovasc Diagn; 1992 Nov; 27(3):212-4. PubMed ID: 1306060.
    Abstract:
    We report the unusual occurrence of complete heart block during attempted right coronary artery cannulation in a patient with pre-existing uncomplicated right bundle branch block (RBBB). This complication occurred due to accidental impingement of the Judkin's right coronary catheter on the left bundle when it transiently slipped across the aortic valve. The block resolved without any complication.
