| مستخلص: |
Heparin-induced thrombocytopenia type II is a rare but devastating complication of heparin exposure. We review a case of a 66-year-old female who underwent aortic valve surgery requiring venoarterial extracorporeal membranous oxygenation (ECMO) support postoperatively. She subsequently developed acute renal failure due to bilateral renal vein thromboses and thrombocytopenia and was found to have platelet factor 4/heparin antibodies and was diagnosed with heparin-induced thrombocytopenia (HIT). She was transitioned to nonheparin anticoagulation and her thrombocytopenia improved. Although a rare complication of anticoagulation, diagnosing HIT in a patient on ECMO requires a high index of suspicion and should be considered. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
