May aid surgical planning to reduce conduction disturbances in congenital repairs; leaves open prospective outcome validation.
To repair congenital heart defects by means of open heart surgery, the surgeon needs guidance about the location and distribution of the specialized conduction tissues, in order to avoid their direct damage and consequent conduction disturbances. This review addresses the historical steps of the morphological study of the conduction system in different types of heart defects, providing updated information about the subject.
