procedures between both groups. Additionally, 8 patients of Group 1 and
1 patient of Group 2 underwent mitral valve repair (p=0.2). Coronary
artery bypass grafting was performed in 2 patients of Group 1 and 4
patients of Group 2 (p=0.1). Four patients of Group 1 underwent
tricuspid valve repair (Table 2).
