Insertion of a left ventricular assist device in patients without thorough transplant evaluations: a worthwhile risk?  Mathew Williams, MD, Jennifer Casher, BA, Neel Joshi, BA, Todd Hankinson, BA, Michelle Warren, BA, Mehmet Oz, MD, Yoshifumi Naka, MD, PhD, Donna Mancini, MD  The Journal of Thoracic and Cardiovascular Surgery  Volume 126, Issue 2, Pages 436-441 (August 2003) DOI: 10.1016/S0022-5223(03)00056-4

Figure 1 Kaplan-Meier survival curves for the nonemergency and emergency LVAD recipients between August 1993 and September 1999. In this figure, day 0 is defined as the day on which an LVAD was initially inserted in a patient. Survival is defined in terms of actuarial life or death. The individual circles shown in the figure represent points at which cumulative survival dropped due to patient death(s). This figure highlights the remarkable similarities in survival between the 2 groups of LVAD recipients.
