Abstract
Complete atrioventricular block is a dangerous complication in elderly patients with coronary artery disease that requires surgical treatment. Treatment of elderly patients with coronary artery disease and atrioventricular block is a debatable problem, and at the moment, there are no clear recommendations regarding the sequence of surgical interventions in this age group. In our opinion, in some cases it is advisable to perform epicardial lead placement during revascularization, because the risk of complications during the implantation procedure increases on the background of dual antiplatelet therapy, which is required after coronary artery bypass grafting. In addition, this approach provides a significant socio-economic effect, saving a patient from re-hospitalization and intervention for conduction disorders. This article presents a clinical observation with a step-by-step algorithm of actions in multivessel coronary artery disease with complete symptomatic atrioventricular block.
