Abstract

Heparin-induced thrombocytopenia (HIT) is an immunogenic disorder. It can lead to thrombocytopenia and a hypercoagulated state with an increased risk for new thrombosis. We here reported a 49-year-old man with previous cardiac surgery and heparin administration, treated by new oral anticoagulant agent, Rivaroxaban.
