Erratum to: Thoracic and cardiovascular surgery in Japan during 2010

Erratum to: Gen Thorac Cardiovasc Surg (2012) 60:680–708 DOI 10.1007/s11748-012-0119-y

Table 3 (1) and (2) on pp. 692–3 appeared incorrectly. The row headed “2) Open stent” should have shown the totals of the numbers in the rows “a) With total arch” and “b) Without total arch,” but those totals were inadvertently omitted. The numbers that now appear with the heading “Open stent” should been one row lower and should have been headed “a) With total arch”. In addition, some numbers in “b) Without total arch” under the multiple-column heading “Chronic” (Table 3 (1)) were incorrectly shown.

The corrected table is given here.
