Mortality data displayed as funnel plots for these 8 benchmark operations. The horizontal dashed line depicts aggregate STS mortality prior to discharge for the given lesion. Dashed lines depicting exact 95% binomial prediction limits were overlaid to make a funnel plot. Squares represent the number of cases and mortality prior to discharge for individual STS Congenital Heart Surgery Database Participants (Centers). (A) ventricular septal defect (VSD) repair; (B) tetralogy of Fallot (TOF); (C) arterial switch operation (ASO); (D) ASO + VSD; (E) complete atrioventricular canal (AVC) repair; (F) Fontan operation; (G) truncus arteriosus repair; (H) Norwood procedure.
