Fig. 4 Aortic cross-clamp time versus adjunctive techniques and clamp/repair in patients with TAA. Each patient represented by a circle; darkened circles represent patients developing postoperative paraplegia; mean aortic cross-clamp time indicated. No significant difference noted between groups (one-way ANOVA).
