Fig. 1 Platelet factor 4 (PF4) (A) and β-thromboglobulin (B). Each patient is represented by a symbol. The line represents the median of the group. For both parameters, the p value was p < 0.001 between the groups. The Annals of Thoracic Surgery 2000 70, 533-537DOI: (10.1016/S0003-4975(00)01404-1)
Fig. 2 Plasmin/anti-plasmin (PAP) complexes (A) and factor XIIa (B). Each patient is represented by a symbol. The line represents the median of the group. For PAP, the p value was p < 0.001 between the groups and, for factor XIIa, the p value was 0.006. The Annals of Thoracic Surgery 2000 70, 533-537DOI: (10.1016/S0003-4975(00)01404-1)
Fig. 3 D-Dimers (A) and thrombin-antithrombin (TAT) complexes (B). Each patient is represented by a symbol. The line represents the median of the group. For D-Dimers, the p value was 0.66 between the groups and, for TAT, the p value was 0.95. The Annals of Thoracic Surgery 2000 70, 533-537DOI: (10.1016/S0003-4975(00)01404-1)
