The formation time due to apical trauma (both transapical transcatheter valve implant and left ventricular venting) was much shorter than that due to other surgical/interventional traumas, but it did not reach statistical significance (2.8 ±3.5 vs. 29.5 ±54.9 months, p = 0.117).

No difference was found between the formation time among the surgical mechanisms, but a decreasing trend from apical left ventricular venting, to aortic, valvular and coronary operations was found (1.8 ±2.0 vs. 22.4 ±14.5 vs. 41.3 ±80.9 vs. 49.2 ±39.0 months, p = NS).
