Two cases of heparin-induced thrombocytopenia after off-pump coronary artery bypass surgery

After cardiopulmonary bypass surgery, the incidence of immunoglobulin antibody (IgG)-mediated heparin-induced thrombocytopenia (HITS) reported in various studies ranges between 1 and 3% as reported by (Anna et al. in Int J Cardiol. 144:405-7, 2010 ). We report two patients who underwent off-pump cor...

Zusammenfassung:After cardiopulmonary bypass surgery, the incidence of immunoglobulin antibody (IgG)-mediated heparin-induced thrombocytopenia (HITS) reported in various studies ranges between 1 and 3% as reported by (Anna et al. in Int J Cardiol. 144:405-7, 2010 ). We report two patients who underwent off-pump coronary artery grafting and developed severe HITS, leading to catastrophic and rare thrombotic complications.
