1 Warfarin therapy does not increase bleeding in patients undergoing heart transplantation 
Cullen D Morris, MD, J.David Vega, MD, Jerrold H Levy, MD, Nancy N Buist, RN, Andrew L Smith, MD, George J Despotis, MD, Kirk R Kanter, MD  The Annals of Thoracic Surgery  Volume 72, Issue 3, Pages (September 2001) DOI: /S (01)

2 Fig 1 The mean number of units of various blood products administered in the first 24 hours after heart transplantation; p < 0.05, Student’s t test. (ALL PTS = all 90 patients; CRYO = cryoprecipitate; FFP = fresh frozen plasma; PLTS = platelets; PRBC = packed red blood cells; TOTAL = total blood products.) The Annals of Thoracic Surgery  , DOI: ( /S (01) )

3 Fig 2 The mean chest tube output in the first 24 hours after heart transplantation in cubic centimeters. Patients with repeat (redo) sternotomies had greater chest drainage in the first 24 hours postoperatively than patients with primary sternotomies; p < 0.05, Student’s t test. (ALL PTS = all 90 patients; EACA = ϵ-aminocaproic acid.) The Annals of Thoracic Surgery  , DOI: ( /S (01) )

4 Fig 3 No relationship between postoperative international normalized ratio (INR) and amount of cumulative chest tube output in the first 24 hours (in milliliters) after heart transplantation by multivariate linear regression analysis (p = 0.49). The Annals of Thoracic Surgery  , DOI: ( /S (01) )
