Fig. 1 Timing of ICD infection as function of ICD implant number (X axis) and year of implantation. First implant of each year is depicted by hatched vertical lines, that is, number of implants until next vertical line equals implants for that year. Triangles represent individual infections at our institution. The Journal of Thoracic and Cardiovascular Surgery 1997 113, 121-129DOI: (10.1016/S0022-5223(97)70407-0) Copyright © 1997 Mosby, Inc.
