Figure 1 CLD and mortality after AVR. Time-to-event curves are shown based on Kaplan-Meier estimates with patients stratified by STS lung disease severity for (A) TAVR and SAVR combined, (B) TAVR alone, and (C) SAVR alone.

Figure E1 PFT metrics and mortality after AVR. Time-to-event curves are shown based on Kaplan-Meier estimates when patients who underwent TAVR or SAVR are stratified into quartiles based on (A) percent predicted forced expiratory volume in 1 second (FEV1), (B) diffusion capacity of the lung for carbon monoxide (DLCO), and (C) forced vital capacity (FVC).
