Fig 1 Kaplan-Meier survival curve stratified for the type of implanted prosthesis: stentless aortic valves (SAVs) versus conventional stented bioprostheses and mechanical valves (CSBs/MVs). The Annals of Thoracic Surgery 2002 74, 2016-2021DOI: (10.1016/S0003-4975(02)03981-4)
Fig 2 Receiver operating characteristic curve for the prediction of follow-up left ventricular ejection fraction ≥ 50%. Rhomboid points (◊) show indexed effective orifice area (iEOA) by steps of 0.10 cm2/m2. The square point (□) shows the best predictive value of iEOA (cm2/m2). *p = 0.002.
