Fig 1 Mean values (standard error) of F1.2 (A), plasmin-antiplasmin (PAP) levels (B), and platelet factor 4 (C) in aortic dissection; T0 = before surgery; T1 = 45 minutes after cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB); T2 = before protamine administration; T3 = 30 minutes after protamine administration; T4 = 3 hours after the end of CPB; T5 = 24 hours after the end of operation. Dotted lines represent ranges of plasma biomarker concentration in normal population. Analysis of variance Friedman test was p < 0.001 for each comparison. (* p < 0.05 versus previous phase by means of sign test.)

Fig 2 Mean values (standard error) of F1.2 (A) and plasmin-antiplasmin (PAP) levels (B) with (■) and without deep hypothermic circulatory arrest (DHCA) (□); T0 = before surgery; T1 = 45 minutes after cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB); T2 = before protamine administration; T4 = 3 hours after the end of CPB; T5 = 24 hours after the end of operation. T3 sample was not performed in coronary artery bypass grafting patients and therefore the T3 column was omitted. (* p < 0.05 DHCA versus No DHCA with the Mann-Whitney U test.)
