Argatroban after emergent PCI may be feasible in HIT-related thrombosis post-CABG; hypothesis-generating case evidence leaves practice change open.
Case Report (n=1)
Emergent PCI and alternative anticoagulation with argatroban can successfully treat severe acute coronary thrombosis caused by heparin-induced thrombocytopenia following off-pump CABG.
Matsue et al. (2010) conducted a case report in Heparin-induced thrombocytopenia and acute coronary thrombosis (n=1). Percutaneous coronary intervention and argatroban was evaluated on Clinical recovery and graft recanalization. Emergent percutaneous coronary intervention followed by alternative anticoagulation with argatroban successfully treated serious acute coronary thrombosis caused by heparin-induced thrombocytopenia.
