Fig. 2 Primary and secondary patency illustrated with life-table method. Both primary (after first PTRA or surgical reconstruction including attempts to treat) and secondary (after additional or therapeutic efforts after restenosis and technical failure) results are shown.

Fig. 3 Cumulative primary and secondary patency rates for initial treatment with (A) PTRA and (B) reconstructive operation shown separately. All ipsilateral therapeutic efforts after first attempt are illustrated. In addition, contralateral interventions are shown below curves. (Cases of more than one therapeutic procedure on same stenosis are marked with an asterisk.)
