FIGURE 2 The instantaneous risk of late mortality as assessed by hazard function peaked simultaneously for patients with and without concomitant procedures. However, the peak was significantly lower in patients with isolated AVR CHEST 1989 95, 38-42DOI: (10.1378/chest.95.1.38) Copyright © 1989 The American College of Chest Physicians Terms and Conditions
