Should not change surgical practice; hypothesis-generating for anatomical landmarks to avoid right bundle branch block in congenital repairs.
Does electrophysiological delineation of the specialized conduction system under cardiotomy help identify the course of the right bundle branch and reduce surgically induced right bundle branch block in patients with congenital heart defects?
Intraoperative electrophysiological mapping of the conduction system during cardiotomy for congenital heart defects helps identify the His bundle and right bundle branch, reducing the risk of surgically induced right bundle branch block.
