• Both venous and arterial thrombosis
• ~50‐70% of HIT patients develop thrombosis

“We conclude that a localizing vascular injury (catheter use)
and a systemic hypercoagulability state (HIT) interact to explain
upper-limb DVT complicating HIT.”

(Previous HIT)
Heparin Rechallenge
• N=20 patients with previous HIT
– 0/3 medical pts formed Abs (despite full course of hep!)
– 11/17 (65%) surgical pts formed anti‐PF4/H Abs
• 8/11 (73%) anti‐PF4/H Ab+ pts became +SRA
– high SRA+ frequency (? memory for plt‐activating Abs)
–1/8 pts  recurrent HIT (despite no postop heparin!) HOW IS THIS POSSIBLE?
• Thus, reasonable to consider heparin re‐exposure, especially for cardiac or vascular surgery (caveat: delayed‐onset HIT remains possible)

Treatment of HIT
Six HIT Treatment Principles
• 2 Do’s
Stop Heparin (LMWH, flushes,…)
Danaparoid (not in U.S.)
Fondaparinux (off-label)
Give alternative anticoagulant
Lepirudin (discontinued)
• 2 Don’ts
Argatroban (APPROVED)
Bivalirudin (off-label)
No warfarin (vit K if warfarin given)
No prophylactic platelet transfusions
• 2 Diagnostics
Test for HIT antibodies
Ultrasound for lower‐limb DVT

Warkentin:
“[For] those patients with severe HIT who evince concomitant DIC, their hypercoagulability state can be ‘untreatable’ with the approved DTIs, at least when employing standard PTT monitoring regimens.”
