A 48-year-old man with Wolff-Parkinson-White syndrome and poorly tolerated atrial fibrillation underwent surgical dissection of an accessory pathway. After operation electrocardiogram revealed a very unfavorable outcome: sinus rhythm with persistence of delta waves alternated with sequences of complete atrioventricular block. Therefore, an early reoperation was planned. Fortunately, in the next days conduction through the accessory pathway and signs of atrioventricular block disappeared. Complete cure was observed during longterm follow-up.
