Abstract
After cardiopulmonary bypass surgery, the incidence of immunoglobulin antibody (IgG)-mediated heparin-induced thrombocytopenia (HITS) reported in various studies ranges between 1 and 3% as reported by (Anna et al. in Int J Cardiol. 144:405-7, 2010). We report two patients who underwent off-pump coronary artery grafting and developed severe HITS, leading to catastrophic and rare thrombotic complications. © Indian Association of Cardiovascular-Thoracic Surgeons 2020.Entities:
