Fig 1 Mortality after surgical treatment of left ventricular pseudoaneurysm. (A) Survival: each death, represented by a circle, is a Kaplan-Meier estimate. Vertical bars represent asymmetric 68% confidence limits (CL), which is equivalent to 1 standard error. Solid line is a parametric survival estimate enclosed within dashed 68% CLs. Numbers in parentheses are numbers of patients remaining at risk. (B) Hazard function (instantaneous risk) for death. Solid line is the hazard estimate enclosed within 68% CLs.
