All patients had squashed left ventricle shape with preserved function. The sternum was left open in 10 patients. Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation support was necessary in 45.45% of cases. The mean mechanical ventilation time was 7.27 days (1\u201316 days). No mortality was recorded until now. Post-operatory left ventricular function was preserved in 90.9% of the patients.
