Figure 5 Periprocedural Myonecrosis by Device Analysis Population

Cumulative frequency distribution curves of peak postprocedural creatine phosphokinase MB (CK-MB) for patients actually treated with distal protection (open circles) or proximal protection (stars). Each curve shows the percentage of patients whose CK-MB elevation (expressed as a multiple of institutional upper limit of normal) exceeds the value on the X-axis. The p value = 0.12 for difference.
