Fig 5 Shifts in vendor market share during the course of the study due to the surgeon's increased awareness of stent graft cost and factoring of device cost into case planning. Each letter represents a different vendor. Over time, vendor A, the most expensive of the stent grafts, derived a smaller segment of the market share.
