Abstract/OtherAbstract:
Low molecular weight heparins have been used to reduce thromboembolic risk for at least 20 years, but their use is not without risk. This article considers the incidence, monitoring, treatment and lack of insight about heparin-induced thrombocytopenia - a potentially fatal complication of low molecular weight heparin use.
