Summary

A modification of Senning's procedure for correction of transposition of the great arteries is described which has been applied in 3 children up to now.

The incision of the atrial septum is made in a vertical fashion and the atrial gap is closed by use of a portion of the invaginated left auricle. Thus, Implantation of prosthetic or non-viable biological material is avoided.
