Fig 1 The frequency of reperfusion injury (RI) significantly (p < 0.01) decreased during a period of 14 years in 190 patients dying within 30 days after coronary artery bypass grafting. Mortality (%) and the number of autopsies (N) during each time period are given in numbers. The Annals of Thoracic Surgery 2000 70, 807-812DOI: (10.1016/S0003-4975(00)01638-6)
