Fig. 2 Median percentage and 25% to 75% intervals of CH50(upper panel), C4 (second panel), factor B (third panel) in patients with a collagen-impregnated prosthesis (ci) compared with levels in patients with a nonimpregnated prosthesis (ni) before operation (day -1), during operation (day 0), and after operation (days 2, 10, and 90). Continuous lines between the time points represent collagen impregnated prostheses, broken lines represent nonimpregnated prostheses. P values between time points within prosthesis groups are shown together with lines. P values of differences between the prosthesis groups are shown at the top of each panel at the appropriate time point.

Fig. 3 Median percentage and 25% to 75% intervals of C3a (upper panel) and median percentage of C3a/C3 fraction (lower panel) in patients with a collagen-impregnated prosthesis (ci) compared with levels in patients with a nonimpregnated prosthesis (ni) before operation (day -1), during operation (day 0), and after operation (days 2, 10, 90). Continuous lines between the time points represent collagen impregnated prostheses, broken lines represent nonimpregnated prostheses. P values between time points within prosthesis groups are shown together with lines. *No significant differences were observed. P values of differences between the prosthesis groups are shown at the top of each panel at the appropriate time point.

Fig. 4 Median percentage and 25% to 75% intervals of CH50(upper panel), C4 (second panel), and factor B (third panel) in patients with a vascular procedures (v) compared with controls (c) before operation (day -1), during operation (day 0), and after operation (days 2, 10, and 90). Continuous lines between the time points represent controls, broken lines represent vascular patients. P values between time points within disease groups are shown together with lines. P values of differences between the prosthesis groups are shown at the top of each panel at the appropriate time point.
