Der Chirurg; Zeitschrift fur alle Gebiete der operativen Medizen, 2009, Volume: 80, Issue:9 Up to 3% of patients receiving unfractioned heparin develop heparin-induced thrombocytopenia (HIT). We report on a polytrauma patient who developed severe HIT with bilateral pulmonary embolism. Lepirudin treatment resulted initially in rapid improvement. Ten days after discharge the patient complained of abdominal pain. A large subcapsular hepatic hematoma was diagnosed, requiring repeat surgery and ending in secondary sclerosing cholangitis.

Up to 3% of patients receiving unfractioned heparin develop heparin-induced thrombocytopenia (HIT). We report on a polytrauma patient who developed severe HIT with bilateral pulmonary embolism. Lepirudin treatment resulted initially in rapid improvement. Ten days after discharge the patient complained of abdominal pain. A large subcapsular hepatic hematoma was diagnosed, requiring repeat surgery and ending in secondary sclerosing cholangitis. This process can potentially be avoided by regular tests of lepirudin concentration and coagulation.
