Aortic balloon angioplasty and stent implantation has been used for treatment of coarctation of aorta (1,2).

To our knowledge, complete atrioventricular block has not been reported as a complication during stent implantation to coarctation of aorta. Here we present a pediatric patient who developed a complete AV (atrioventricular) block during stent implantation which required temporary cardiac pacemaker and antiinflammatory therapy.
