An Unusual Cause of Complete Atrioventricular Block and Aortic Regurgitation

Abstract

We report a rare case of Behçet's disease (BD) causing aortic regurgitation and complete atrioventricular block (AVB) in conjunction with pacemaker pocket infection. We emphasize the need to consider the possibility of BD in young and middle-aged patients who present with aortic valve prolapse with regurgitation combined with complete AVB with elevated inflammatory markers.
