Fig 3 Kaplan-Meier curves comparing outcomes of bicuspid (dashed lines) versus tricuspid valves (solid lines). There was no significant difference between bicuspid and tricuspid valves in terms of (A) freedom from structural valve deterioration, (B) freedom from aortic valve reoperation, and (C) freedom from aortic valve replacement.
