Fig 1 The horizontal lines represent the normal range according to the manufacturer's guidance. A, Prothrombin fragment (PF)1 + 2. The preoperative group is significantly higher than the other groups. B, Thrombin-antithrombin (TAT) complex. There is no significant difference between the four groups. AMC, Age-matched control; EVAR, endovascular aneurysm repair; OAR, open aortic repair.

Fig 2 A, Plasminogen activator inhibitor (PAI) activity, 12 months post-open aortic repair (OAR) is significantly higher than in the preoperative group. B, The tissue-plasminogen activator (t-PA) antigen. There is no significant difference between the four groups. AMC, Age-matched control; EVAR, endovascular aneurysm repair.
