Despite the early adoption phase, 40 patients met criteria for complex pathology (i.e., concomitant procedures, infective endocarditis, reoperation, narrow thoracic cage, or difficult aortic cross-clamping) and were defined as the complex group. The remaining 85 patients formed the control group. Surgical outcomes were compared between groups. The learning curve was assessed using operation time and risk-adjusted cumulative sum (RA-CUSUM) analysis based on predicted morbidity (Japan Score).<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>\n                      The complex group had longer operative times (335 \u00b1 71 vs 282 \u00b1 61 min,\n                      <jats:italic toggle=\"yes\">P<\/jats:italic>\n                      &lt; 0.001) and higher complication rates (17.5% vs 3.5%,\n                      <jats:italic toggle=\"yes\">P<\/jats:italic>\n                      = 0.012).
