Abstract
We report a case of atrioventricular (AV) block post successful percutaneous atrial septal defect (ASD) device closure. He had minimal fatigue and presented for his routine follow-up after intervention. His ECG showed 2:1 AV block. The interesting finding was appearance of varying PR interval in the conducted beats evoking possibility of complete heart block (CHB). We review the literature and conclude that changing PR is part of compensation to maintain R-R interval in a typical Wenckebach phenomenon.
