Heparin-Induced Thrombocytopenia under Mechanical Circulatory Support by Large Impella for Acute Cardiogenic Shock

Heparin-Induced Thrombocytopenia under Mechanical Circulatory Support by Large Impella for Acute Cardiogenic Shock

Despite the critical feature of heparin-induced thrombocytopenia (HIT) for patients on mechanical circulatory support, reports on its incidence and outcome are still scarce. Thus, we report on clinical features of HIT in patients under Impella 5.0 or 5.5 (Abiomed Inc., Danvers, MA, USA) (Impella 5+)...
