The most common complications were cut-out (n\u2009=\u200916, 57%) and cut-in (n\u2009=\u20097, 25%). Significant predictors included increased tip-apex distance (TAD), younger patient age, and the requirement for postoperative blood transfusions. A TAD greater than 37.2 mm substantially elevated the risk of complications.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Mechanical complications after CMN implantation can be significantly reduced by precise implant placement to minimize TAD and careful perioperative management of hemoglobin levels.
