Fig 1 Bar histogram shows median patient age at surgical repair of sinus venosus defect stratified by time interval of clinical activity. Numbers within the bars are the total number of patients operated on during the same time interval. The difference in median age between years 1990 and 2000 and the other time intervals was significant.

Fig 2 Overall patient survival after repair of sinus venosus defect between 1970 and 2008 (solid line) is shown. The curve has been plotted against expected survival for an age- and sex-matched control population in Italy (dashed line).
