Sumario:Hemophilia A (HA) is a rare bleeding disorder characterized by reduced factor VIII (FVIII) activity and consequently spontaneous bleeding. Since the introduction of prophylaxis with safer FVIII concentrates, people with HA are ageing. Interestingly, they are developing cardiovascular diseases as their non‐hemophilia counterparts. We describe a 48‐year‐old patient with severe HA who presented a third‐degree atrioventricular block. A DDDR pacemaker was implanted under supervision of the Hematology Clinics. There were no adverse events during the procedure. The procedure was safe, and it should be performed under the supervision of a hemophilia expert.
