Third-degree atrioventricular block is a severe bradyarrhythmia, for which there is no proven effective drugs currently. Permanent pacemaker implantation recommended by the guideline, however, is not suitable for most patients. This paper reported on a case of third-degree atrioventricular block after cardiac radiofrequency ablation who has been treated with the method of boosting
qi
, warming yang and unblocking collaterals. The TCM syndrome of this case was diagnosed as
yang
qi
depletion and phlegm-stasis blocking the collaterals, for which
Baoyuan Decoction
and
Mahuang Fuzi Xixin Decoction
(保元汤合麻黄附子细辛汤) in modification has been used to boost
qi
, warm
yang
and raise the sunken, dissolve phlegm, invigorate blood and unblock collaterals. After nearly 7-month treatment, the symptoms such as palpitations, shortness of breath and fatigue were basically cured, and the electrocardiogram returned to the normal.
