Fig 4 Kaplan-Meier curve shows there was no significant difference in survival between group A (patterned line) and group B (black line). The Annals of Thoracic Surgery 2012 94, 90-96DOI: (10.1016/j.athoracsur.2012.03.055) Copyright © 2012 The Society of Thoracic Surgeons Terms and Conditions
Fig 5 Scatter plots show the relation between the day 3 postoperative creatinine level and (A) circulatory arrest time, (B) selective cerebral perfusion time, (C) extracorporeal circulation time, and (D) temperature at circulatory arrest. No significant relationship was found between the creatinine level and operative variables.
