Abstract
Heparin- induced thrombocytopenia (HIT) is an antibody mediated adverse effect of heparin therapy which is classified into two subtypes, HITI which is non-immune, spontaneously reversible thrombocytopenia and; HITII which is an autoimmune-mediated adverse effect of heparin therapy. In this case report, we described a 65-year old male patient with HITII after coronary artery bypass grafting.
Key words: Heparin- induced thrombocytopenia, Heparin- induced thrombosis, coronary artery bypass grafting.
- Heparin- induced thrombocytopenia
- Heparin- induced thrombosis
- coronary artery bypass grafting.
