The conduction system in corrected transposition with situs inversus

G Thiene, A Nava, L Rossi

    European Journal of Cardiology
    |September 1, 1977
    PubMed
    Summary

    This study examined the cardiac conduction system in two hearts with corrected transposition of the great arteries and situs inversus. Findings reveal unique atrioventricular node positions and bundle branch distributions, crucial for understanding congenital heart disease.

    Area of Science:

    • Cardiology
    • Congenital Heart Disease
    • Cardiac Electrophysiology

    Background:

    • Corrected transposition of the great arteries (TGA) is a complex congenital heart defect.
    • Situs inversus involves a mirror-image arrangement of visceral organs.
    • Understanding the cardiac conduction system's anatomy in these variations is critical for surgical planning and patient management.

    Observation:

    • Serial sectioning was used to investigate the conduction system in two hearts with TGA in situs inversus.
    • One heart presented with dextrocardia and an intact interventricular septum.
    • The second heart exhibited levocardia, a ventricular septal defect, and pulmonary atresia.

    Findings:

    • A regular posterior atrioventricular (AV) node was identified, located on the left in one case and the right in the other.
    • The bundle branches were found in their morphologically appropriate ventricles.
    • Hemorrhage and necrosis of the common bundle and bundle branches occurred in one case post-tricuspid valve surgery.
    • The common bundle's position varied relative to the membranous septum and ventricular septal defect.
    • An accessory AV node was present anteriorly in the interatrial septum but lacked ventricular connection.

    Implications:

    • The study highlights variations in atrioventricular conducting tissue in corrected TGA with situs inversus compared to situs solitus.
    • Accurate anatomical knowledge of the conduction system is vital for preventing arrhythmias and improving outcomes in complex congenital heart disease.
    • These findings contribute to a deeper understanding of cardiac development and surgical repair strategies.
