This study reports the 2-dimensional echocardiographic appearance of the caval and pulmonary venous pathways after the Senning procedure in 28 patients and establishes normal values for the caval and pulmonary venous pathway dimensions. Eighteen patients had no caval or pulmonary venous obstruction or tricuspid regurgitation at catheterization; 2 had isolated superior vena caval obstruction, 3 had isolated pulmonary venous obstruction, 4 patients had severe tricuspid regurgitation, and 1 had a large residual ventricular septal defect. The caval and pulmonary venous pathways were imaged in modified 4-chamber and transverse views, and the narrowest dimension of each pathway in each view was measured by 2 independent observers. Dimension measurements were then normalized to the cube root of body surface area. Caval and pulmonary venous pathway "dimension products" were obtained by multiplying the normalized dimension in the 4-chamber view by the normalized dimension in the transverse view. All patients with catheterization-proven caval or pulmonary venous obstruction or tricuspid regurgitation had caval or pulmonary venous pathway dimension products outside the normal range, defined by our measurements in the 18 patients with no caval or pulmonary venous obstruction or tricuspid regurgitation. Thus, 2-dimensional echocardiography can provide both quantitative and qualitative information about the caval and pulmonary venous pathways after the Senning procedure.
