Fig 1 Impact of differences in cost of on-pump and off-pump supplies to overall incremental cost per patient. Note: The difference in cost of surgical supplies ranged from −$1,000 (off-pump supplies costing $1,000 more) to $1,000 (off-pump supplies costing $1,000 less). Revised total incremental costs were then calculated using these estimates. (USD = US dollars.)
