  • Title: A fatal complication after repair of post-infarction ventricular septal rupture: heparin-induced thrombocytopenia with thrombosis.
    Author: Nazli Y, Colak N, Demircelik B, Alpay MF, Cakir O, Cagli K.
    Journal: Cardiovasc J Afr; 2015 May 23; 26(3):e11-5. PubMed ID: 26592990.
    Abstract:
    Heparin-induced thrombocytopenia (HIT) is a rare but potentially devastating and life-threatening complication from using heparin. HIT not only causes thrombocytopenia, but it also carries an increased risk for fatal thrombotic complications. In this report, we describe the case of a patient in whom fatal HIT developed after successful surgical repair of a posterior post-infarction ventricular septal rupture with cardiopulmonary bypass.
