CT Surg · Sample question
A 67-year-old man with exertional syncope and severe calcific aortic stenosis undergoes surgical aortic valve replacement. During aggressive annular debridement near the commissure between the right and noncoronary cusps, he develops complete heart block after separation from bypass. Which anatomic relationship best explains this complication?
Conduction system risk in aortic valve surgery
The AV node continues as the His bundle through the membranous septum, close to the noncoronary/right coronary cusp region; debridement or sutures here can cause complete heart block. C is tempting but the SA node is at the SVC-right atrial junction, not the aortic annulus. A describes a thoracic nerve injury, not postoperative AV block. A is a coronary-anatomic trap; the circumflex is most relevant near the mitral annulus, not the right-noncoronary aortic commissure.
Diagnose new AV block after valve surgery, order ECG/telemetry, treat temporary pacing, and escalate for permanent pacemaker if block persists.
