- Overall survival [ Time Frame: Up to 5 years ]Mortality
- All-cause reoperation [ Time Frame: Up to 5 years ]The total number of unplanned reoperations required in patients over the follow-up period, which include the repair or alteration of the surgical area around the patch. Patients with planned reoperations, such as CHD staged surgeries, will not be considered.
- Device-related reoperation [ Time Frame: Up to 5 years ]The total number of unplanned reoperations required in patients over the follow-up period, which are determined by the surgeon to be device-related.
- Explant [ Time Frame: Up to 5 years ]The total number of device explants over the course of follow-up.
- Morbidity [ Time Frame: Up to 5 years ]The total number of any adverse event, with specific focus on cardiovascular complications which have the potential to be device-related.
