## Abstract We describe a case of massive coronary thrombus after the coronary stenting due to heparinβinduced thrombocytopenia with thrombosis syndrome (HITTS). Only argatroban was able to resolve the thrombus. This is the first case in which argatroban successfully treated massive thrombus during

## Abstract The appropriate regimen of platelet inhibitors that should be used in patients with immune thrombocytopenia purpura (ITP; formerly called idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura) who are undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention is unclear. We report the case of a patient with ITP who u
Heparin-induced thrombocytopenia and thrombosis syndrome (HITTS) is a severe complication of heparin caused by an antibody response to the heparin-platelet factor 4 complex which results in severe thrombosis. Heparin rechallenge in HllTS patients carries a high risk of inducing thrombosis. Antithrom
