Characteristics of patients in the cohort by aortic repair type. Data for nonparametric continuous variables expressed as median (Interquartile Range); categorical values expressed as n (%). P values are for Kruskal-Wallis test for nonparametric continuous variables and Chi square test for categorical variables.
