Rubin). 1 Heparinoid Protocol We have used this protocol with peroperative a single heparin injection in this type II heparin-induced thrombocytopenia, because of the low preoperative FP4 antibody level and platelet count (60.000/ml) associated with a low immediate risk of new rapid thrombosis. Very fast heparin neutralisation by protamine also decreases this risk despite immunologic mechanism.

Confusing combination of thrombocytopenia and thrombosis after heparin therapy in a patient with cardiac leiomyosarcoma; a nephrologist viewpoint
We represent here a 30-year-old woman with cardiac leiomyosarcoma who developed thrombocytopenia and deep vein thrombosis a few days after the start of low molecular weight heparin. Thrombocytopenia improved after replacement of low molecular weight heparin with hirudine. We speculated that cardiac leiomyosarcoma is a predisposing factor for development of heparin induced thrombocytopenia.

Background Heparin induced thrombocytopenia (HIT) is a serious complication related to the heparin treatment and might lead to the life-threatening consequences such as arterial and venous thrombosis. The patient with HIT scheduled for cardiac surgery represents serious problem because heparin, most common used anticoagulation drug during cardiac surgery, must be avoided. Conclusions From the r...

Objective: To determine whether fondaparinux is effective in the treatment of thrombosis due to heparin-induced thrombocytopenia (HIT) in cardiac surgery we reported three cases successfully treated with fondaparinux and withdrawal of all heparins. Patients: All three patients were female and underwent heart valve replacement using cardiopulmonary bypass. Combined clinical criteria, "4T score" ...

Abstract Background and Objectives Heparin is still a commonly used anticoagulant in prophylaxis and treatment of thromboembolic events. Heparin-induced thrombocytopenia (HIT) is a life-threating adverse drug reaction of heparin. The diagnosis of HIT is made based on two important criteria, firstly clinical evaluation and secondly laboratory testing. In this comprehensive review, the authors w...
