Modified Senning procedure in a patient with dextrocardia with left atrial isomerism and anomalous systemic venous drainage: a rare case report

Cardiol Young. 2024 May;34(5):1148-1152. doi: 10.1017/S1047951124000477. Epub 2024 Mar 20.

Abstract

The atrial switch procedure by Senning or Mustard technique primarily aims in correcting parallel systemic and pulmonary circulations at atrial level. This procedure may be used in late presenting D-transposition of great arteries with a deconditioned left ventricle, congenitally corrected transposition of great arteries and isolated ventricular inversion. We describe the case of a child with dextrocardia, left atrial isomerism with complex pulmonary and systemic venous drainage resulting in mixing at atrial level. She was successfully operated by modified Senning procedure performed through the left-sided atrium.

Keywords: Senning; atrial switch; dextrocardia; left atrial isomerism.
