Operative data
Patch augmentation was performed in 165 (95%) patients, 20 (%11) of
these patients had coarcted segment resection/posterior end-to-end
anastomosis and anterior patch augmentation. Only eight (5%) underwent
resection/extended end-to-end anastomosis. The median ACP-CP time was 45
minutes (IQR 36–56 min), the median CA time was 46 minutes (IQR 25–73
min), and the median descending aortic clamp time was 45 minutes (IQR
40–57 min). As expected, the ascending aortic clamp time was longer in
the CA group (median 35 vs 61 min, P = < 0.001), but
there was no statistically significant difference between the groups in
terms of cardiopulmonary bypass time and descending aortic clamp time
(P = 0.32 and 0.75, respectively) (Table 2).
