Complications of catheterization utilizing a Swan-Ganz catheter are uncommon. Among the most frequent complications observed are cardiac arrhythmias. The purpose of this report is to present a case of Swan-Ganz catheter-induced intermittent right bundle branch block (RBBB) occurring only when the catheter tip balloon was inflated.
