Abstract
Instances of iatrogenic complete heart block continue to occur after surgical VSD closure, either because of unexpected biological variations or because of unawareness of the disposition of the atrioventricular conduction axis in particular circumstances. This report emphasizes the latter aspect in details and suggests a risk of iatrogenic complete heart block of less than 1%.
