Erratum to: Thoracic and cardiovascular surgery in Japan during 2012: Annual report by The Japanese Association for Thoracic Surgery

Erratum to: Gen Thorac Cardiovasc Surg (2014) 62:734–764 DOI 10.1007/s11748-014-0464-0

The following errors appeared in the above-cited article.

In 2012 Final report, (A) Cardiovascular surgery section, on the seventh line in the third paragraph, “14,944 cases in thoracic aortic aneurysm” should read “15,058 cases in thoracic aortic aneurysm”.

Also in (A) Cardiovascular surgery section, the title for Table 3, “Thoracic aortic aneurysm (total; 14,944)” should read “Thoracic aortic aneurysm (total; 15,058)”. (1) “Dissection (total; 6,266”) should read (1) “Dissection (total; 6,380”). Additionally, some column totals were incorrect. The corrected table is given below.

In (B) General thoracic surgery section, Table 22, on the eighth line of the table body, “Cardinal reconstruction” should read “Carinal reconstruction”.
