Changes (adjusted for hemodilution) in platelet counts (A), D-dimer levels (B), plasminogen levels (C), and α2-antiplasmin levels (D) in patients undergoing OPCAB or ONCAB and receiving placebo or TA at time 1 (after induction of anesthesia), time 2 (10 minutes after arrival in ICU), and time 3 (24 hours after end of operation). Box plots with medians (horizontal lines), interquartile ranges (boxes), and 95% confidence intervals (vertical lines) are shown. Diagonal fills slanting downward from right represent OPCAB and placebo; white fills represent OPCAB and TA; diagonal fills slanting downward from right represent ONCAB and placebo; black fills represent ONCABG and TA. P values refer to analysis of variance for repeated measures (see text for explanation). ns, Not significant.

IL-6 levels (A) at time 2 (after arrival in ICU, unadjusted for hemodilution) and fibrinogen levels (B) and α2-antiplasmin levels (C) at time 3 (24 hours after end of operation) in patients undergoing OPCAB or ONCAB and receiving placebo or TA. Box plots with medians (horizontal lines), interquartile ranges (boxes), and 95% confidence intervals (vertical lines) are shown. Diagonal fills slanting downward from right represent OPCAB and placebo; white fills represent OPCAB and TA; diagonal fills slanting downward from right represent ONCAB and placebo; black fills represent ONCABG and TA.
