Hi Sharon , I've been in cardiology since 1983 and I've never heard about it!. It's very rare!. It suggests very extensive conduction system damage, Your husband is at a higher risk of heart block, fainting and sudden cardiac death, so the insertion of a permanent pacemake may be advisable!.The bundle branches are a important part of the cardiac electrical system!. The electrical system coordinates muscular contraction to assure that the heart works efficiently as a pump!. Did the Dr discuss a pacemaker with you!? They may want to insert one first then do his surgery!. Has he ever had a heart attack!?Email me if you have any more questions, take care, DonnaaWww@Answer-Health@Com
