Figure 3. Mean change in volume of 24 h ischaemia () vs 48 h ischaemia () allografts during the postoperative period (bars indicate standard deviation). A single animal, which had a large graft, represents week 14 in the 24 h group. Otherwise, allografts with 48 h ischaemia times were significantly smaller than those with 24 h ischaemia times at weeks 5–12 (*p<0.05). Too few animals survived at weeks 12 and 14 time points to make statistical comparison.
