  • Title: Orgaran during rotational atherectomy in the setting of heparin-induced thrombocytopenia.
    Author: Hale LP, Smith K, Braden GA, Owen J.
    Journal: Cathet Cardiovasc Diagn; 1998 Nov; 45(3):318-22. PubMed ID: 9829897.
    Abstract:
    Heparin is considered necessary during percutaneous coronary interventions; however, heparin is contraindicated in patients with heparin-induced thrombocytopenia and/or heparin antibodies. We describe the successful use of the heparinoid Orgaran (danaparoid sodium) in addition to abciximab (ReoPro) in a patient with heparin antibodies who required rotational atherectomy.
