    Patency rates of 197 common iliac endovascular interventions in 149 patients. Calculation is based on all cases treated in the study period (cases included as well as excluded from the study). Patency is defined as an open artery without ≥50% restenosis. The numbers under the curve display patients at risk.

    Comparison of homocysteine values with respect to patency rates after endovascular treatment of symptomatic occlusive disease in the common iliac arteries: The upper 25% (>13.36μmol/l) (broken line) compared with the lower 75% (≤13.36μmol/l) (unbroken line) of measured values. The numbers displayed under the curve signify patients at risk.
