Fig 2 (A) Kaplan-Meier analysis (log-rank): Comparison of late survival in patients with previous aortic valve replacement (AVR; group 1, solid line), previous proximal aortic reconstruction (group 2, small dashed line), and previous aortic root replacement (group 3, large dashed line; p = 0.14). (B) Kaplan-Meier analysis (log-rank): Comparison of late survival in patients with New York Heart Association (NYHA) class I to III (solid line) and class IV (dashed line; p = 0.017) The Annals of Thoracic Surgery 2007 84, 1592-1599DOI: (10.1016/j.athoracsur.2007.05.049) Copyright © 2007 The Society of Thoracic Surgeons Terms and Conditions
