Management of heparin-induced thrombocytopenia with fondaparinux in a patient with left ventricular assist device.
[heparin-induced thrombocytopenia]
Heparin-induced
thrombocytopenia
is
an
immune-mediated
serious
adverse
effect
of
heparin
therapy
.
It
is
a
relatively
frequent
complication
among
patients
with
mechanical
circulatory
support
.
Herein
,
we
present
a
patient
with
severe
heart
failure
and
sepsis
who
developed
heparin-induced
thrombocytopenia
shortly
after
implantation
of
left
ventricular
assist
device
as
a
bridge
to
transplantation
and
who
was
successfully
treated
with
fondaparinux
.
