Another Example of Devastating Complication of Heparin-Induced Thrombocytopenia Post-Cardiac Surgery: Is Danaparoid the Culprit of Another Near Fatal Complication?

摘要

We describe a patient who developed catastrophic consequences of heparin-induced thrombocytopenia (HIT) post car?diac surgery, for which she required reoperation using CPB. We also illustrate the impact of intraoperative transe?sophageal echocardiography (TEE) in the surgical management of this patient.
