Senning
Senning Procedure is a surgical method used in the treatment of Transposition of the Great Arteries (TGA), a congenital heart defect. The procedure, named after Swedish surgeon Åke Senning, was developed in the mid-20th century and has since been largely replaced by the Arterial Switch Operation (ASO).
History[edit | edit source]
The Senning procedure was first performed by Åke Senning in 1959. It was one of the first operations developed to treat TGA, a condition in which the two main arteries of the heart are switched in position. The procedure was a significant advancement in the field of Cardiac Surgery, offering a new treatment option for a previously untreatable condition.
Procedure[edit | edit source]
The Senning procedure involves the creation of a baffle within the atrium to redirect the flow of oxygenated and deoxygenated blood. The pulmonary veins are connected to the Right Ventricle, and the systemic veins to the Left Ventricle. This allows the blood to be correctly oxygenated and circulated throughout the body.
Outcomes[edit | edit source]
While the Senning procedure was a significant advancement in the treatment of TGA, it has been largely replaced by the ASO due to improved outcomes and fewer complications. However, the Senning procedure may still be used in certain cases where the ASO is not suitable.
