May support rescue PCI with IABP and argatroban in HIT-related graft thrombosis; hypothesis-generating and should not change practice.
Case Report (n=1)
No
Rescue PCI of native vessels with IABP support and argatroban is an effective treatment strategy for early CABG graft failure caused by heparin-induced thrombocytopenic thrombosis.
Adiraju et al. (2014) conducted a case report in Heparin Induced Thrombocytopenic Thrombosis (HITT) post-CABG (n=1). Rescue PCI with IABP and Argatroban was evaluated on Clinical recovery and TIMI-3 flow establishment. Rescue percutaneous coronary intervention with intra-aortic balloon pump support and argatroban successfully restored TIMI-3 flow in a patient with early graft thrombosis due to heparin-induced thrombocytopenic thrombosis.
