Fig 1 Robot-assisted coronary artery bypass graft surgery (RA-CABG) volume by site from 2006 to 2012. (Red bars = 1 to 5 cases; green bars = 6 to 10 cases; dark blue bars = 11 to 20 cases; turquoise bars = 21 to 40 cases; orange bars = 41 to 80 cases; light blue bars = more than 80 cases.)

Fig 4 Temporal trends in operative mortality for isolated coronary artery bypass graft surgery, with or without ventricular assist device. The Annals of Thoracic Surgery 2017 104, 22-28DOI: (10.1016/j.athoracsur.2017.05.013) Copyright © 2017 The Society of Thoracic Surgeons Terms and Conditions
Fig 5 Unadjusted association between gait speed and operative mortality. Decreasing gait speed was associated with increasing odds of operative mortality. Blue shaded area indicates 95% confidence interval; dashed line indicates reference odds ratio of 1.0. (m/s = meters per second.)

Fig 6 Proportion of black patients undergoing coronary artery bypass graft surgery at institutions ranked top to bottom based on increasing risk-adjusted mortality. Centers in quartile 1 (0% to 25%) had the lowest risk-adjusted operative mortality, whereas centers in quartile 4 (75% to 100%) had the highest risk-adjusted operative mortality. (vs = versus.)
