2 Fig 1 Subgroup analyses of mortality with a focus on secondary abdominal tumors involving the inferior vena cava (n = 20; also see Table III). Curves A to D show Kaplan-Meier survival and log-rank analyses depending on completeness of resection (A), histology (B), tumor-related pain (C), and histopathologic grading (D; grading available in only 17 patients). Circles indicate living patients at the time of follow-up. Journal of Vascular Surgery  , DOI: ( /j.jvs ) Copyright © 2007 The Society for Vascular Surgery Terms and Conditions
