Transthoracic approach in 113 patients (A) versus extrathoracic approach in 44 patients (B). Life-table distribution of actuarial freedom from graft failure over time. Graft failure was defined as recurrent stenosis in the entire graft or in any limb of a multivessel conduit, that is, stenosis >80%, or <80% with associated recurrent symptoms. Hatched lines indicate standard deviations >10%. Journal of Vascular Surgery 2005 42, 47-54DOI: (10.1016/j.jvs.2005.03.027) Copyright © 2005 The Society for Vascular Surgery Terms and Conditions
