A modified Senning technique was used for intraatrial channeling of the systemic venous blood into the pulmonary arteries to create a Fontan circulation in 26 children, six with tricuspid atresia and 20 with complex congenital heart disease. In this technique a flap of atrial free wall tissue is used to create an atrial tunnel without artificial material. Eight patients had subaortic stenosis and required a Damus-Kay-Stansel procedure, in addition. Early mortality was two of 26 and late mortality one of 26. Pleural effusion was encountered in 17 of 26 patients, of whom four had a pericardial effusion, in addition. One patient required pacemaker implantation for complete atrioventricular block. Follow-up ranged from 2 months to 5 years. In this period the ability level index rose by one level. No thrombi were encountered in the right atrium/cavopulmonary tunnel. One patient required antiarrhythmic medication. Protein-losing enteropathy was diagnosed in one patient. Conclusion: This modified Senning technique has the advantage of avoiding the use of prosthetic material in the creation of a Fontan circulation and the potential for fewer long-term complications.
