Implication

Alerts clinicians to rare complete AV block risk; extends known arrhythmic effects of intracoronary papaverine.

Key Points

This case report aims to describe the occurrence of complete atrioventricular block following intracoronary papaverine administration.
Administration of intracoronary papaverine to assess its effects on cardiac function.
Monitoring of cardiac electrophysiological parameters and ST-T configuration.
Complete atrioventricular block was observed following the administration of intracoronary papaverine.
Incidents of ventricular tachycardia and ventricular fibrillation have been documented in similar cases.

Intervention

Intracoronary papaverine

Outcome

Complete atrioventricular blocksafety

Intracoronary papaverine, used for measuring coronary flow reserve, can rarely cause complete atrioventricular block in addition to known ventricular arrhythmias.
