Corrigendum to “Comparison of surgical and interventional therapy of native and recurrent aortic coarctation regarding different age groups during childhood” [Eur. J. Cardiothorac. Surg. 39 (2011) 898–904

Abstract

In our recent published paper (Fruh et al., Eur J Cardiothorac Surg 2011;39:898—904) the following corrections have been made. In Section 3: Results, first paragraph, the following sentence has been corrected: ‘A total of 48 children were treated at an age 6 years (group C).’ In Section 3.2: Catheter interventions, sixth paragraph, the first sentence has been corrected: ‘In the whole patient group, re-interventions became necessary in 15 (instead of 16) patients (16.5%), including eight patients in group A (children 6 years) (14.8%).’ In the abstract, Results, the second sentence has been changed: ‘Complication rate and re-intervention rate (surgical and interventional) both were comparable between the three age groups (complications: group A 8.3%, group B 6.3%, group C 3.7%, re-interventions: group A 16.6%, group B 18.8%, group C 14.8%).’ The authors regret the mistakes.
