Fig 1 The preoperative mean pulmonary arterial pressure in each group. Small triangles are individual patient data points. The closed circle and bars show the mean and standard deviation in each group. (PAP = pulmonary arterial pressure; RVAD = right ventricular assist device.)

Fig 2 The preoperative right ventricular stroke work index in each group. Small triangles are individual patient data points. The closed circle and bars show the mean and standard deviation in each group. (RV SWI = right ventricular stroke work index; RVAD = right ventricular assist device.)
