Fig 2 Pulmonary autograft diameters over time for the sinotubular junction (top line), autograft root (middle line), and autograft valve annulus (bottom line) are presented with the standard error of the mean (error bars).

Fig 3 Box and whisker plots show the left ventricular end-diastolic diameter over time in patients requiring reoperation (gray boxes) on the pulmonary autograft vs patients not requiring reoperation (white boxes). The horizontal line in the middle of each box indicates the median; the top and bottom borders of the box mark the 75th and 25th percentiles, respectively. The whiskers mark the 90th and 10th percentiles.

Fig 5 Mean pulmonary autograft valve regurgitation over time in patients requiring reoperation (black squares) on the pulmonary autograft vs patients not undergoing reoperation (white squares). Error bars designate the standard error of the mean.

Fig 6 Echocardiographic pattern leading to early or late reoperation on the pulmonary autograft. (ADSV = autograft diameter at the level of the sinuses of Valsalva; AR = aortic regurgitation; EDLVD = end-diastolic left ventricular diameter.)
