    Primary patency rate vs. run-off vessels: Kaplan-Meier survival curves and Life table showing the primary patency rates in legs with more than one run-off vessels and in legs with one run-off vessel. There is a significant statistical difference between the two groups (p<0.001, hazard ratio=4.6 with 95% CI 2.0 to 10.4). (Censored observations are marked by ticks on the survival curves.
