Abstract

Heparin-induced thrombocytopenia was diagnosed in a 50-year-old man on day 5 after cardiac surgery (aorto-coronary bypass and mitral valve replacement). He required redo (para-prosthesis leak) on day 13. The cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) was performed with unfractionated heparin (UFH) and the platelet glycoprotein (GP) IIb/IIIa inhibitor tirofiban. Post-protamine bleeding likely due to documented persistent platelet blockade by tirofiban was successfully treated with one dose of recombinant activated factor VII (rFVIIa, 60 microg/kg). No thrombotic complications were detected. The management of CPB with UHF and tirofiban is a convenient option and rFVIIa seems appropriate to handle bleeding issues.
