Changes in D-dimer after pig-to-baboon heart (n = 4) or artery patch (n = 14) transplantation. In heart recipients, mean D-dimer increased from < 0.5μg/ml pre-transplant to > 2.0μg/ml (on post-transplant day 4) and was variable thereafter. In artery patch recipients, mean D-dimer increased from < 0.5μg/ml pre-transplant to 1.4μg/ml on post-transplant day 48 (P < 0.01). (Reprinted with permission from ref. [19])
