Hospital stay (days) 12 (9; 16) 9 (8; 12) <0.001
Intensive care unit stay (days) 4 (2; 5) 3 (1; 4) 0.001
Immediate procedural mortality 0 [0] 5 [1.2] 1*
In-hospital mortality 4 [8] 12 [3] 0.093*
30-day mortality 5 [10] 14 [3] 0.045*

Data presented as number [percentage] for categorical variables, mean standard deviation for normally distributed or median and (25th and 75th percentile) for not normally distributed continuous variables. Accordingly, Chi-square, exact Fisher*, Student’s t-test or Mann-Whitney U test were used to compare.
