Intraoperative antiaggregant strategy for off-pump coronary artery bypass grafting in a patient with heparin-induced thrombocytopenia.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Immune heparin-induced thrombocytopenia is a rare complication of heparin administration. We describe a patient with a previous diagnosis of heparin-induced thrombocytopenia and related contraindications to anticoagulation who underwent urgent off-pump myocardial revascularization with the administration of only antiaggregant therapy.

Bivalirudin in off-pump coronary artery bypass graft in a patient with heparin-induced thrombocytopenia: a case report of its use.
Heparin-induced thrombocytopenia (HIT) is an antibody-mediated reaction in which heparin administration causes a person to enter a pathological and highly prothrombotic state. When patients with known HIT undergo coronary artery bypass and grafting procedures, they must be appropriately anticoagulated. The dangers of heparin administration in this population necessitate the use of an alternativ...

Certain benefits are clearly associated with the use of off-pump coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) as compared with the on-pump CABG. The superiority is more evident in patients with multiple co morbidities including renal failure.We reviewed the medical records of a 67-year-old male with a past medical history that was significant for multiple cardiovascular diseases and new-onset end-sta...

Patients presenting to the emergency department with dyspnea after recent coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) present a unique diagnostic challenge. There have been no previous reports in the literature of a patient with bilateral pulmonary emboli (PE) and bilateral pneumothoraces after CABG. We describe an adult male who presented with shortness of breath after recent CABG. He was found to hav...
متن کاملEmergency Conversion from Off Pump to Cardiopulmonary Bypass in Patients with Coronary Artery Bypass Graft Surgery
Introduction: As off pump Coronary artery bypass grafting surgery (CABG) is a developing method in coronary cardiac surgery, most surgeons are anxious about the danger of emergency crash conversion. In this observational study we tried to show the rate and outcome of conversion . Material and methods: In this descriptive study about 477 coronary off-pump CABG patients were operated in Ghaem hos...
متن کاملPrediction of Changes in Left Ventricular Ejection Fraction after Off-Pump Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting Surgery by Myocardial Perfusion Single-Photon Emission Computed Tomography
Introduction: Left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) is considered to be the single most important prognostic factor in patients with previous myocardial infarction. LVEF is not improved in all patients after coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG). This study aimed to assess the possibility of prediction of LVEF changes after CABG using myocardial perfusion gated signle photon emission compu...
