Catastrophic complication following heparin therapy.
[heparin-induced thrombocytopenia]
Heparin-induced
thrombocytopenia
is
a
rare
but
serious
and
life-threatening
complication
of
heparin
use
.
We
describe
the
case
of
a
7
-
year
-old
girl
with
tetralogy
of
Fallot
with
pulmonary
atresia
,
who
developed
multiple
thrombotic
complications
following
intracardiac
repair
,
requiring
below
elbow
amputation
of
the
left
forearm
and
right
forefoot
.
Our
case
illustrates
the
need
for
greater
awareness
of
heparin-induced
thrombocytopenia
,
to
prevent
the
significant
morbidity
associated
with
it
.
