This book offers the first systematic and meticulous description of the atrioventricular conduction tissues as they relate to the margins of septal defects in various types of congenital heart malformations. The authors do not give an encyclopedic review, but rather focus on those malformations amenable to surgical correction and in which a truly profound knowledge of surgical anatomy of the atrioventricular conduction is mandatory. Their research, both in the laboratory and in the operating theater, contains important results, with new information regarding the precise relationship of the atrioventricular conduction tissues to the margins of a septal defect in a given anomaly. The topographical anatomy of the atrioventricular conduction bundle is given in a step-by-step approach which should enable the reader to grasp the intricacies involved. Such detailed information is of immeasurable value for pathologists, cardiologists, and surgeons alike.
