What are the incidence and outcomes of reoperations following the Senning operation in patients with transposition of the great arteries?
Reoperations following the Senning operation are rare and have good mid-term results for baffle complications or LVOT obstruction, but carry high mortality when performed for systemic ventricular failure.
Hörer et al. (2008) conducted a cohort in Transposition of the great arteries (n=314). Senning operation was evaluated on Reoperation. Reoperations following the Senning operation were required in 10.2% of patients over a mean follow-up of 18.2 years, with 25-year freedom from reoperation at 88.0%.
