Table 3. Coagulation and Fibrinolysis

Patients were administered heparin at T2. Values are expressed as mean ± SD. Six points of measurements were defined: before induction (T1), 1 h after incision (T2), 1 h after extubation (T3), 24 h postoperatively (T4), 48 h postoperatively (T5), and at day 7 (T6). No measurements were performed at T6 for thrombin time (TT), thrombin–antithrombin complexes (T-AT), and plasminogen activator inhibitor 1 (PAI-1).

*P < 0.05 versus  T1.

PT = prothrombin time; APTT = activated partial thromboplastin time; ND = not determined.
