Key Points Seven percent of patients (with no history of intraventricular conduction abnormalities) experienced intraprocedural high‐degree Atrioventricular (AV)/complete heart block. High‐degree/complete heart block was persistent in 64% of patients who developed significant intraprocedural intraventricular conduction abnormalities. Ninety‐seven percent of patients with persistent high‐degree AV/complete block ultimately required pacemaker implantation.
