Population: Participants with available data at the respective time points are included in the analysis.

Patient hemodynamics as measured by invasive postoperative lines were recorded and compared between groups. Transpulmonary pressure gradient is defined as the difference between mean pulmonary artery pressure and left atrial pressure (commonly estimated by a pulmonary artery wedge pressure).
