This study presents the clinical aspects as well as the therapy and prognosis of complete atrioventricular block in childhood. Our own experience is based on the case histories of 12 children with congenital complete AV block, six of them having additional heart disease and of 14 children with acquired AV block, which appeared in 10 of these children already during operation or up to 5 5/12 years after surgery.
