Fig 3 Kaplan-Meier survival curves according to type of tricuspid valve replacement prosthesis, biological (red continuous lines) or mechanical (blue dotted lines). (A) Survival free from tricuspid valve-related death. (B) Survival free from Structural valve deterioration of tricuspid prosthesis. (C) Survival free from thromboembolic events related to tricuspid valve.

Fig 4 Kaplan-Meier survival curves stratified according to the type of tricuspid valve replacement prosthesis, biological (red continuous lines) or mechanical (blue dotted lines). (A) Survival free from reoperation on a tricuspid prosthesis. (B) Survival free from reoperation for Structural valve deterioration of a tricuspid prosthesis. (C) Survival free from the composite endpoint.
