Figure 1 Survival Ater CABG Either Alone or With Concomitant MV Annuloplasty for Functional Ischemic MR

Symbols represent deaths positioned according to the Kaplan-Meier estimator, vertical bars are 68% confidence limits, and numbers in parentheses are patients still alive. Solid lines are parametric estimates enclosed within 68% confidence limits. (A) Unadjusted survival, based on 37 deaths after coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) alone and 92 after CABG + mitral valve (MV) annuloplasty. (B) Propensity-matched survival, based on 19 deaths after CABG alone and 19 after CABG + MV annuloplasty. MR = mitral regurgitation.
