Fig 1 Change of left ventricular volumes and ejection fraction (LVEF) in each patient. Open circles indicate patients who did not require left ventricular assist system support. Filled circles represent patients who required left ventricular assist system, in whom postoperative variables were obtained at the time of temporary left ventricular assist system halt to assess recovery of left ventricular function. * indicates patients who were weaned from left ventricular assist system (see text for detail). (LVEDVI = left ventricular end-diastolic volume index; LVESVI = left ventricular end-systolic volume index; Post = postoperative; Pre = preoperative.)
