Surgical suture lines formed at the site of anastamosis have been considered to be electrically inert and thus present a line of block to conduction. However, a number of reports have suggested that conduction is occasionally possible across suture lines. Most of these cases have reported conduction between donor and recipient atria following cardiac transplantation. We report an illustrative case successfully treated with radiofrequency ablation, and present pathology findings that may give insight into the pathophysiology.
吻合部位形成的手术缝合线一直被认为是电惰性的，因此会形成传导阻滞线。然而，一些报告表明，缝合线偶尔也可能存在传导。这些病例大多报告了心脏移植后供体和受体心房之间的传导情况。我们报告了一例成功接受射频消融治疗的典型病例，并展示了可能有助于深入了解病理生理学的病理学发现。
