The type of surgical technique didn’t affect the overall incidence of
all rhythm disturbances (41% in single patch group and 35% in double
patch groups, p=0.5). At long-term follow-up, ectopic atrial rhythm, as
expression of sinoatrial node disturbance, was however significantly
more frequent in the pediatric population (32% pediatric group and 8%
adult group, p=0.02).
