Fig 3 Kaplan-Meier estimates show the composite end point of aneurysm-related death or aneurysm rupture according to assignment to surveillance (dashed line) or early endovascular aneurysm repair (EVAR, solid line). The time to the composite end point did not significantly differ between groups (P = .99).

Fig 4 Kaplan-Meier estimates of overall survival with 95% confidence limits are shown according to assignment to surveillance (dashed line) or early endovascular aneurysm repair (EVAR, solid line). Overall survival did not significantly differ between groups (P = .98).
