Kaplan-Meier survival analysis after transplantation by transplant group: ALT (alternate list transplant) = high-risk recipient paired with marginal donor (dash-dotted line); HR:SD = high-risk recipient paired with standard donor (dotted line); SR:MD = standard recipient paired with marginal donor (dashed line); STD = standard recipient paired with standard donor (solid line).

Incidence rate of death by time period and group: ALT (alternate list transplant) = high-risk recipient paired with marginal donor (gray bars); HR:SD = high-risk recipient paired with standard donor (speckled bars); SR:MD = standard recipient paired with marginal donor (slashed bars); STD = standard recipient paired with standard donor (checkered bars).

Transplant hospitalization length of stay and incidence of complications by group: ALT (alternate list transplant) = high-risk recipient paired with marginal donor (gray bars); HR:SD = high-risk recipient paired with standard donor (speckled bars); SR:MD = standard recipient paired with marginal donor (slashed bars); STD = standard recipient paired with standard donor (checkered bars). *p value less than 0.05 when compared with the STD group.

Incidence rates of long-term complications of transplantation by group: ALT (alternate list transplant) = high-risk recipient paired with marginal donor (gray bars); HR:SD = high-risk recipient paired with standard donor (speckled bars); SR:MD = standard recipient paired with marginal donor (slashed bars); STD = standard recipient paired with standard donor (checkered bars). (TCAD = transplant coronary artery disease.)
