Heparin-induced thrombocytopenia successfully treated with fondaparinux

S Seldrum et al. Acta Clin Belg. 2009 Mar-Apr.

Abstract

We report the successful treatment of a patient with HIT-associated venous thrombosis by fondaparinux, a synthetic pentasaccharide. Although not yet approved for this indication, this new anticoagulant may be a useful alternative in the setting of HIT.
