      experience of 81 patients.

AB  - To investigate major in-hospital complications of ascending aorta reconstruction 
      and to identify factors associated with these complications. Methods All 
      consecutive patients admitted to our clinic for aortic aneurysm repair from June 
      2005 to June 2009 were enrolled in this retrospective study. Demographic data, 
      details of the surgical procedures and major in-hospital complications were 
      assessed and recorded from the institutional electronic database. Patients were 
      divided into two groups according to the development of major in-hospital 
      complications. Results The New York Heart Association (NYHA) Class of patients 
      with major in-hospital complications was higher than those without complications. 
      In addition, the number of patients with coronary artery disease (CAD), diabetes, 
      chronic renal disease (CRD), chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), and 
      previous cardiac surgery was significantly higher in those with major in-hospital 
      complications. Moreover, the requirement for inotropic agents and intra-aortic 
      balloon pump was higher in these patients. Cross-clamp time was significantly 
      higher in patients with major in-hospital complications (107+/-34 vs. 79+/-26 
      (p<0.001). Presence of CRD (r=0.308; p=0.005) and CAD (r=0.244; p=0.028), 
      previous cardiac surgery (r=0.266; p=0.022), cross-clamp time (r=0.349; p=0.001) 
      and IABP requirement (r=0.308; p=0.005) were significantly correlated with the 
      development of major in-hospital complications. Conclusion Our results show that 
      presence of underlying CRD and CAD, previous cardiac surgery, length of 
      cross-clamp time and IABP requirement were significantly associated with the 
      development of in-hospital complications in patients undergoing surgical 
      reconstruction for ascending aortic aneurysm.
