THE MANAGEMENT OF anticoagulation for cardiopul-monary bypass (CPB) in patients with antiphospholipid antibodies is challenging because antiphospholipid antibodies increase the risk for arterial and venous thrombosis and affect commonly used in vitro coagulation assays such as the kaolin-activated coagulation time.Previous reports have described successful anticoagulation monitoring in these patients using anti-factor Xa measurements, the diatomaceous earth-activated coagulation time, and laboratory plasma heparin concentrations.In this report, the authors describe an alternative strategy using the HepCon HMS Plus point-of-care testing system (Medtronic, Englewood, CO). This strategy may be helpful when the other previously described modalities are not available.
