1 Risk-corrected impact of mechanical versus bioprosthetic valves on long-term mortality after aortic valve replacement  Ole Lund, MD, PhD, Martin Bland, MSc, PhD  The Journal of Thoracic and Cardiovascular Surgery  Volume 132, Issue 1, Pages e3 (July 2006) DOI: /j.jtcvs Copyright © 2006 The American Association for Thoracic Surgery Terms and Conditions

2 Figure 1 Mean age (■) ± 2 standard deviations (SDs) of the 15 mechanical and 23 bioprosthetic valve series. Areas of the squares are proportional to the total follow-up (patient-y) in each valve series.

3 Figure 2 Total death rate of the 15 mechanical (■) and 23 bioprosthetic (□) valve series in relation to mean age of each series. Areas of the squares are proportional to the total follow-up (patient-y) in each valve series.
