Fig 1 Reoperation after onset of endocarditis. (A) Freedom from reoperation. Each circle represents a reoperation. Vertical bars represent 68% confidence limits of the Kaplan-Meier estimates. Numbers in parentheses represent patients traced beyond the designated event. The solid line is the parametric estimate and is enclosed within 68% confidence limits (dashed lines). (B) Hazard of mitral valve reoperation. The dashed lines enclose the 68% confidence limits. The Annals of Thoracic Surgery 2002 73, 1813-1816DOI: (10.1016/S0003-4975(02)03551-8)
