Fig 1 Effect of recombinant hirudin (lepirudin) on measured hirudin levels, as well as thrombin generation and activity during a case of prolonged cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB). Diamonds = hirudin (μg/mL); squares = TAT (μg/L); triangles = F1.2 (nmol/L). (TAT = thrombin antithrombin III; F1.2 = prothrombin fragment 1.2.)
