Fig 1 Primary patency was similar between bovine carotid artery (BCA) and expanded polytetrafluoroethylene (ePTFE) cohorts. The standard error did not exceed 10% at any point during the time of the analysis.

Fig 2 Primary assisted patency was similar between bovine carotid artery (BCA) and expanded polytetrafluoroethylene (ePTFE) cohorts. The standard error did not exceed 10% at any point during the time of the analysis.

Fig 3 Secondary patency was higher for bovine carotid artery (BCA) grafts compared with expanded polytetrafluoroethylene (ePTFE) grafts. The standard error did not exceed 10% at any point during the time of the analysis.

Fig 4 Patient survival was higher for bovine carotid artery (BCA) grafts compared with expanded polytetrafluoroethylene (ePTFE) grafts. The standard error did not exceed 10% at any point during the time of the analysis.
