Twenty-six patients aged 6 days to 3 months (mean 57 days) underwent a Senning procedure for transposition of the great arteries. Twenty-two had intact ventricular septum and four had a small ventricular septal defect. They were followed up for 1 month to 8 years (mean 4 years). There were no late deaths. At late examination, 25 patients were asymptomatic and there was no clinical or echographic evidence of caval or pulmonary venous obstruction. Growth was normal in all but two patients. Neurologic assessment was abnormal in eight patients. The electrocardiogram showed sinus rhythm in 22 patients and asymptomatic arrhythmias in four. Twenty-three patients underwent cardiac catheterization and angiographic studies 2 to 72 months postoperatively (mean 15 months), which demonstrated effective left and right atrial contraction. An atrial shunt was noted in one patient and a ventricular shunt in one. Two infants (8%) had a residual left ventricular outflow tract obstruction (gradients of 26 and 37 mm Hg). Two had mild superior vena caval obstruction (gradients of 4 and 5 mm Hg). We conclude that the Senning procedure can be performed in early infancy with good results and a low incidence of late complications. |
