Operative data:
Fenestration was performed in only three (3.3%) patients during the
operation. There was no statistically significant difference between the
groups in terms of cardiopulmonary bypass time (CPB) time, fenestration
and aortic cross clemp (ACC) time (p = 0.19, p = 0.51, p = 0.31,
respectively). Forty five (48.9%) patients underwent an additional
concomittant procedure. Twenty two (23.9%) patients had pulmonary
artery patch arterioplasty, 20 (21.7%) patients underwent repair of an
atrioventricular valve and one (1%) patient repair of an aortic valve.
Ventricular outflow tract obstruction repair were performed in two
(2.2%) patients.
