Case Reports
[A case report of aortic valve stenosis combined with complete A-V block during chronic hemodialysis].
A 52-year-old man treated by hemodialysis under the diagnosis of chronic renal failure admitted to our hospital due to aortic valve stenosis and complete A-V block. Aortic valve was severely calcified, and the cause of complete A-V block was considered caused by the progressive calcification invasing to conduction system. ⋯ The efficacy of simultaneous operation of aortic valve and pacemaker implantation was emphasized. However the generator implantation was recommended to perform in the several days after the operation because of destruction of the pacemaker function by counter shock for arrhythmia in the early post operative period.
