Fig. 1 Fibrinolytic studies in the 10 patients. Values are presented as mean ± SEM. PAI values represent those of seven patients who were free of thrombosis. Exact D-dimer levels on postoperative day 3 were unknown but were above 2000 ng/ml or 4000 ng/ml in seven patients. In statistical evaluation, these cutoff points were used and significance was calculated by the Wilcoxon signed rank test. *p H 0.05, **p H 0.01, ***p H 0.001 compared with preoperative values.

Fig. 2 Individual values of antithrombin III (AT III), protein C (PC), and PAI. The dotted lines refer to reported normal ranges for antithrombin III and protein C.16 Open triangles refer to patients with thrombosis.
