Stent placement is the first line treatment for coarctation of aorta in adolescent and adult patient population. Complications during this procedure due to aortic wall and the technique were reported previously. Here we present a pediatric patient who developed a complete AV (atrio-ventricular) block during stent implantation which required temporary cardiac pacemaker and anti-inflammatory therapy.
