Abstract
- Heparin-induced thrombocytopenia (HIT) is a clinicopathologic condition and adverse drug reaction caused by immunoglobulin G (IgG) antibodies directed against the heparin-platelet factor 4 complex. HIT with thrombosis (HITT) could lead to limb amputation, stroke, myocardial infarction, and death. We report on the successful management of a HITT patient with argatroban therapy.
