Fig. 1 Freedom from ipsilateral postoperative (including perioperative) stroke for octogenarians and younger patients undergoing CEA (log-rank P =.69). Error bars represent SEM. Number of patients entering next interval alive and free of ipsilateral postoperative stroke is given for octogenarians above stroke-free lines and for younger patients below stroke-free lines.16 Journal of Vascular Surgery 2000 31, 927-935DOI: (10.1067/mva.2000.106417) Copyright © 2000 Society for Vascular Surgery and International Society for Cardiovascular Surgery, North American Chapter Terms and Conditions
