3. Fig 2
(A) Kaplan-Meier curve for probability of survival across subjects with a left ventricular assist device and stratified by age 65 years or more versus less than 65 years, restricted to 1 year of follow-up. (B) Kaplan-Meier curve for probability of survival across subjects with an LVAD and stratified by age 65 years or more versus less than 65 years. A.0, marginal donor aged less than 65 years (solid blue lines); A.1, marginal donor aged 65 years or more (dotted blue lines); C.0, standard donor aged less than 65 years (dashed red lines); C.1, standard donor aged 65 years or more (broken red lines).

4. Fig 3
(A) Kaplan-Meier curve for probability of survival across subjects without a left ventricular assist device and stratified by age 65 years or more versus less than 65 years, restricted to 1 year of follow-up. (B) Kaplan-Meier curve for probability of survival across subjects without a left ventricular assist device and stratified by age 65 years or more versus less than 65 years. B.0, direct heart transplantation (HTx) with marginal donor aged less than 65 years (dotted black lines); B.1, direct HTx with marginal donor aged 65 years or more (broken black lines); D.0, direct HTx with standard donor aged less than 65 years (solid green lines); D.1, direct HTx with standard donor aged 65 years or more (dashed green lines).
