All displayed valve procedures include valve replacement and/or repair. Abbreviations: v-a ECMO: veno-arterial extracorporeal membrane circulation. CPB: cardiopulmonary bypass. HCA: hypothermic circulatory arrest. SACP: selective antegrade cerebral perfusion. w/o: without. NA: not applicable. * Some patients underwent multiple procedures in one surgery. Δ Only patients undergoing HCA intraoperatively were included in this analysis. # Only patients undergoing aortic cross-clamping intraoperatively were included in this analysis.
