Description
Guimbretière and nine co-authors review suspected cases of a dangerous heparin reaction after lung artery surgery for chronic clots. The reaction, where the blood thinner drops platelet counts and can cause clots, was suspected in 86 of 1,360 patients. Only 16 cases were confirmed by both antibody and platelet tests.
Every confirmed patient got replacement therapy and survived the intensive care stay. Among unconfirmed cases, those given replacement therapy bled less and died less often than those who were not. A sharp platelet fall on day five marked the confirmed cases. The authors offer the patterns as guidance for a murky diagnosis. The study appeared in 2024.
