Senning repair
Updates to Article Attributes
TheSenning repair is one of two "atrial switch" procedures used to functionally correcttransposition of the great arteries (the other being theMustard repair).
The two repairs share a similar fundamental fundamental principle. Systemic blood flow is redirected away from the RVright ventricle and toward the LVleft ventricle. BecauseAs the main pulmonary artery comes off the LVleft ventricle in transposition, essentially "two wrongs make a right."
One of the main adverse effects of the Senning repair is arrhythmia. During creation of the septal baffle and redirection of the atrial flow, the sinoatrial node may be injured. The Senning repair has a lower rate of arrhythmia than the Mustard repair, but thearterial switch procedure is now preferred to correct transposition, partly to avoid this complication.
