| Case no. | Intervention | Intubation | Total operation time (minutes) | CPB time (minutes) | Aortic cross-clamp time (minutes) | Lowest core temperature (°C) | Pulsatile perfusion |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Mitral valve replacement | Double lumen tube | 145 | 75 | 47 | 36.0 | Yes |
| 2 | Mitral valve replacement | Single lumen tube | 165 | 92 | 64 | 36.0 | Yes |
| 3 | Mitral valvuloplasty | Double lumen tube | 170 | 88 | 68 | 36.0 | Yes |
| 4 | Mitral valve replacement | Double lumen tube | 133 | 67 | 43 | 36.0 | Yes |

In the published article, there was an error in Table 3 as published. The Extubation time after surgery in Case no. 1 should be “7” h, and the Blood transfusion for Case no. 2 should be “2U blood transfusion.” The corrected Table 3 and its caption appear below.

| Case no. | Extubation time after surgery (hours) | Complication | Blood transfusion | Length of stay (days) | Maternal mortality | Gestational age when pregnancy termination (weeks) | Fetal outcomes |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | 7 | No | No | 11 | No | 20 | Abortion |
| 2 | 5 | No | 2U RBC | 13 | No | 35 | Abortion due to fetal cerebral anomaly |
| 3 | 5 | No | No | 18 | No | 37 | Normal Term Infant |
| 4 | 10 | Atrial fibrillation* | No | 22 | No | 37 | Normal Term Infant |
| 5 | 1 | No | 2U RBC | 13 | No | 26 | Abortion due to fetal chromosomal abnormality |
Four days after the surgery, the patient had an episode of acute atrial fibrillation with heart rate of 171 bpm. The sinus rhythm was returned with a heart rate of 92 bpm after the Valsava maneuver twice. One day after the first episode, the patients felt palpation with no reason and the ECG revealed a rapid onset of atrial fibrillation with a heart rate of 175 bpm. Antiarrhythmic drugs (12.5 mg beta-blocker and 0.2 mg deslanoside) were given and the episode was terminated. Beta-blocker was used to maintain the sinus rhythm.
In the published article, there was an error. A correction has been made to Perioperative management strategy, Paragraph 1. This sentence previously stated:
“Sevoflurane, propofol, dexmedetomidine, and rocuronium were used for anesthetic maintenance with certain level of Nacrotrend Bis values between 40 and 60.”
The corrected sentence appears below:
“Sevoflurane, propofol, dexmedetomidine, and rocuronium were used for anesthetic maintenance with certain level of Nacrotrend values between 40 and 60.”
In the published article, there was an error.
