4 Fig 3 Cost analysis in propensity-matched groups. Costs are expressed for diagnostic, radiology, and laboratory (green bars); hospital stay (intensive care unit [ICU] and normal ward (red bars); and for the operating room ([OR] including anesthesia; blue bars) in euros (€); exchange rate: €1 = $1.358 on January 19, 2014). The graphic shows a total cost saving of €4,407 per patient for operations with the sutureless device (excluding costs of prostheses from both groups).
