  1. Assessment performed by Doppler flow wire measurements in cm/s (upper part) and as a percentage of baseline (bottom part). FS, femoro-subclavian; FF, femoro-femoral; IABP, intraaortic balloon counterpulsation; The median of baseline percentage is not percent expression of absolute value median. It is a median of baseline percentage from each experiment.
