Abstract

Management of anticoagulation in patients with heparin-induced thrombocytopenia (HIT) undergoing surgery requiring cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB), such as cardiac transplantation, represents a difficult clinical problem and no clear management strategy exists. The cases of 2 patients with HIT who underwent cardiac transplantation using differing anticoagulation strategies are presented with a discussion of potential advantages and pitfalls of each approach used.
