Abstract
Late presenting complete heart block after pediatric cardiac surgery is rare complication and its management is controversial. In this report we described a child who underwent atrio-ventricular septal defect with normal sinus rhythm during post-operative period as well as during the first 2 years of follow up. She subsequently developed complete heart block with bradycardia that required pace maker insertion. The case discusses this unusual late-presenting complication, its possible risk factors and the management.
