Toyonaga et al. (2014) conducted a case report in Sudden cardiac arrest due to complete atrioventricular block during emergency brain surgery (n=1). Percutaneous cardiac pacing was evaluated on Recovery from cardiac arrest. Percutaneous cardiac pacing was immediately initiated and successfully resuscitated a 78-year-old man who developed complete atrioventricular block and cardiac arrest during emergency brain surgery.
