The study sought to assess the safety, efficacy and sustainability of the pilot project. Out of a total of 600 patients, two could not be discharged on the same day as their procedure because of a sudden drop in blood pressure, in one case, and because of arrhythmia, in another case. Both patients would have to be admitted to a public hospital because the combined inpatient facilities do not have the capacity to provide immediate care. One patient had to return to surgery within 90 days because of infection of the prosthesis and another underwent wound surgery in the hospital.
