Fig 1 Forest plot illustrates the odds ratio, pooled odds ratio, and 95% confidence interval for the incidence of cerebrovascular accident (CVA) after coverage of the left subclavian artery (LSA) compared with no LSA coverage. Increased risk of CVA to the right of the vertical access.

Fig 2 Forest plot illustrates the odds ratio, pooled odds ratio, and 95% confidence interval for the incidence of cerebrovascular accident (CVA) after coverage of the left subclavian artery (LSA) and preoperative revascularization compared with no LSA coverage. Increased risk of CVA is to the right of the vertical access.

Fig 3 Forest plot illustrates the odds ratio, pooled odds ratio, and 95% confidence interval for the incidence of spinal cord ischemia after coverage of the left subclavian artery (LSA) compared with no LSA coverage. Increased risk of spinal cord ischemia is to the right of the vertical access.

Fig 4 Forest plot illustrates the odds ratio, pooled odds ratio, and 95% confidence interval for the incidence of spinal cord ischemia after coverage of the left subclavian artery (LSA) and preoperative revascularization compared with no LSA coverage. Increased risk of spinal cord ischemia to the right of the vertical access.
