Abstract
Perioperative anticoagulation management for patients with heparin-induced thrombocytopenia requiring cardiopulmonary bypass and deep hypothermic circulatory arrest presents a clinical challenge. Alternative anticoagulants have been used but can cause significant postoperative bleeding. We report the successful use of cangrelor and heparin in a 30-year-old patient with severe heparin-induced thrombocytopenia undergoing urgent pulmonary thromboendarterectomy.
