Abstract/OtherAbstract:
|
Heparin-induced thrombocytopenia and thrombosis is associated with a significant incidence of morbidity and mortality. Prompt recognition of this complication and immediate withdrawal of heparin therapy are imperative. This report describes a case of heparin-induced thrombosis and thrombocytopenia with major vascular insufficiency of the extremities. This is the first reported instance of the use of intravenous streptokinase for the treatment of heparin-induced venous thrombosis. |
