Fig. 1 Kaplan-Meier curve demonstrating freedom of reintervention (solid line) with 95% confidence interval (dotted lines). Numbers represent numbers of patients at risk at 2, 5, 10, 15, and 20 years of follow-up.

Fig. 2 Kaplan-Meier curves demonstrating freedom of reintervention for pulmonary stenosis in relation to method used to reconstruct pulmonary artery. Straight line represents pantaloon patch of fresh autologous pericardium; dashed line represents two button patches of glutaraldehyde-treated pericardium; dotted line represents conduit (Dacron polyester fabric or dura mater). Difference between lines is significant according to log-rank test (P =.0011). Numbers represent numbers of patients at risk in each group at 2, 5, 10, 15, and 20 years of follow-up.
