Thrombosis in heparin-induced thrombocytopenia

Thrombosis in heparin-induced thrombocytopenia, also referred to as heparin-induced thrombocytopenia with thrombosis, is a life-threatening, paradoxical prothrombotic complication occurring in patients exposed to unfractionated or low-molecular-weight heparin Primarily affecting the vascular and hematologic systems, it leads to a typical drop in platelet counts alongside high risks of new or progressive venous and arterial thromboembolic events, such as deep vein thrombosis, pulmonary embolism, ...

This disorder arises when IgG autoantibodies form against complexes of platelet factor 4 and heparin, which bind platelet FcγRIIa receptors to trigger extensive platelet activation, aggregation, and substantial thrombin generation
